I quit smoking 3 months ago and gained 25LBS. I eat half the food I did while smoking, almost completely cut out alcohol, and I play racquetball 3 times a week for over an hour each time! I can’t figure it out. How did my body change that much from quitting. Any thoughts on what may help me lose some of the weight I’ve gained?

My girlfriend of 19 months just started smoking again, and I must admit, she looks very sexy when smoking. I just would like to know like when I have a conversation with her is she there? She seems to be a tad clumsy when high, but it is hard to tell.
Like is she the same person high as when she is sober?

Peskey asked:

I think is should be up to the owner of the restaurant if they want to band smoking or have a non-smoking section and/or smoking section.
I personally don’t have a problem with smoking in restaurants.

I’ve been smoking almost everyday for the past 6 months. The longest time I’ve went without smoking weed would probably be two or three days. I have a lot of things going for me and the only real reason to quit would be because I’m not myself anymore. Any tips on quitting?

I’m planning on quitting starting Aug 21st. My reason is so i can live longer for my child, plus he has asthma and i don’ t want the cigarette smoke in my clothes anymore when he breathes it in. Another reason is gas prices are so high now and between gas prices and buying cigarettes i spend at least $80-$100 a month. This will be my first time ever doing this, i don’t even know how to quit or avoid the cravings. I really can’t afford the smoking cessation classes (don’t know if i spelled the word right lol) i just want to do it on my own. I already know that the nicotine gum won’t work because i already chew gum when I’m smoking a cigarette. Need advice please and thank you to all!
I have people that will support me, like my boyfriend (he wants me to quit also), co-workers, my mom said she’ll support me but she smokes too and i live with her, i know other family members will be willing to help me.
