Smoking Questionnaire

I usually ignore people who write things like "ne1" because obviously they are in too big a hurry to write or are just way too cute... But i'm bored, so i'll bite.


1.. Gender/age male, 56

2.. How long have u smoked? I smoked for 35 years -- quit 4 years ago my last birthday (sept.)

3.. Have you noticed any side effects from smoking? a couple: yellow teeth, bad breath, stinky clothes, smelly car and house, hacking cough, sickening phlegm, emphysema, heart attack, having to be on oxygen almost 24/7, sucking inhalers 6 or 8 times a day, and just recently came home from the hospital with a new toy -- a nebulizer. Other than that, no.

4.. Have you ever tried to give up? a lot of times. So many times that even now that I have not smoked in over 4 years and always seem to have an o2 hose in my nose, I won't say i'll never smoke again. Insidious, hu?

5.. When do you need to smoke? when I did smoke, I smoked all the time. I sucked down to the filter 3 packs a day. I would not go 10 or 15 minutes without a human unless I had to. It didn't start out that way, of course. I remember when it was less than a half pack a day.

6..How do you feel when u smoke? sated, comfortable, less nervous, not hungry, cool, awake -- just about everything one could feel until finally I just felt sick. I wish I woulda felt sick the very first time and every other time that I stuck a cig in my mouth.

There, I feel better now.

Thanx! Can ne one else help?
