crisbeatz Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A strange thing happened to me yesterday. I noticed that after smokking hookah for almost a month now, I started to get sick after I would smoke a ciggy. So being that it officially makes me sick, I decided that now would be the time to be done with smoking ciggy's (Itell myself I'm not quitting cause momma ain't raise no quitter LOL). Anyway, today I slapped on a patch to help the cravings (Had some left over from the last time I tried to quit) and I had a tremendous amount of energy all day! I couldn't think straight after half the day went by but who cares, I didn't smoke a cig today! So now that I'm halfway through a bowl of SB Wildberry Mint, and finally have some composure , I declare day one over and my first step taken. Looking back, I can't figure why I smoked in the first place, no flavor, smells like ass hair over an open fire, made me feel like shit. But anywho, thanks everyone for being helpful with hints and tips to help me get my technique down.Next Challenges:1. Day Two 2. Get the hot girls number(the one that works at the hookah lounge I now go to) 3. Talk the same girl into giving me some Al Fahker for free 4. Get a Charcoal tray as to not burn my carpet anymore and finally.....5. Successfully pack a bowl of Tangiers(when I finally try it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 hahah congrats day number two should provide the most challenging, but really after 3 days all the physical addictions are gone and its just mental. just take it one day at a time and think why am i paying some huge corporation to slowly kill me whilst i have no fun along the way.

r1v3th3ad Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm hooked on cigs, when I go a while without one, seems like smoking cardboard. Wanna quit, lemme know how it goes. Its gonna be hard for me to go from one and a half packs a day to none, when I actually get the willpower/motivation.O ya, how is the patch going? I heard that they cause bad skin irritation and really really vivid dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And About the motivation part, I still have no motivation to quit, I just really don't like it anymore. I could care less about my health (good reasons behind that) but I think I just found something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the taste Djarum Black cloves leave behind. They're starting to taste like bananas to me for some reason, lol. They also give me the same buzz a hookah would, but its ease of use and portability is slowly drawing me away from hookah.My friends are always asking me about bringing my hookah around, but I just leave it at my girlfriends house because I have no desire to smoke it anymore. I'm thinking about getting a KM hose and some Fusion, which I think will get me going again if the shisha is as good as the reviews say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanij Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Why smoke cigarettes if you've got hookah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 because cigs are highly addictive, I've been on the cigs around 6 yrs, hookah about three...just read an article that states that the chemicals they add to cigs are refined in the tobacco, with cocaine, aint that fukt up...no wonder why they are so addictive.

leadpipecinch21 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 congrats dude, i'm about a month in to not smoking. i just decided to quit one night, woke up the next morning and broke the rest of my cigarettes, and haven't felt better. after the first full week it's easy as hell, you've just got to keep your mind straight and you won't be tempted. also remember why you quit and how good you feel today...that'll help you keep your mind made up/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Keep it up man. More money saved from not buying cigarettes = more money for shisha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 day 3 is the hardest. when i quit i realized if you make it over day 3 youre golden. and yes...i smoked marlboro reds (the cowboy killers) for 5 years.but now just hookah. i used to smoke cigs while i smoked hookah and wake up in the morning feeling like someone sat on my chest all night so i would have to smoke more cigs to make that go away.girlfriend loves that i quit cigs because she hates the smell/taste of them.

Switch Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 well with the money you are saving on cigs, think of the massive amounts of shisha you can buy. Cigs are now like $5 a pop now, so if you are smoking 2 packs a day, thats $10. After a week, you could order a few new tubs of starbuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shisha fan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 i can`t imagine quitting cigarettes, i`ve been smoking em since i was 12 (i`m 20 now). but maybe smoking shisha with a high nicotine content will make it easier, such as nakhla and tangiers. i might try to quit soon since a pack cost 4 euros over here ($6).anyway good luck!

crisbeatz Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well Day two is going better than yesterday surprisingly. Thanx alot guys for the support too! I do know this, if you can go just one day without a cigg and then smell them the next, they fucking stink! Also, if your gonna quit, be sure to tell everyone your around so they understand why you might be in a bad mood LOL. but back on the subject of hookah, I go to a lounge called Pita Jungle off of Univerity and Evans on the DU campus (somebody asked). I can't wait to get the SB Marlette in, I'm dying to try it and the Fantasia Pink Lemonade. Again thank you guys for the support. If all goes well I'll write a tut on what worked for me to quit somewhere else in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
