I understand that you're unfamiliar with the terminology. I smoked for 10 years and was probably actively "quitting" for at least 3. As a smoker you tend to smoke with lots of other people: at your job, at the bars, in fancy cars, etc.Originally Posted by Bobmuhthol
Here's a conversation that I've had at least 50 times:
Me: want to have a smoke?
Smoker: oh I didn't tell you? I quit!
Me: oh nice! (subtext: I hate you for doing what I cannot) What did you use?
Now Bob, I understand you're probably confused here, cause you're a virgin. When I say "what did you use?" I want to know what helped them quit. Was it Chantix? The patch? Fucking lasers? Hypnosis?
Smoker: nothing! I quit cold turkey.
Fin.
Smokers don't give a fuck if you "cut back" or went from a full pack to half a pack or did anything else. I don't care how long it took them to quit, just that they quit. Cutting back doesn't help you quit, it saves you money and (if we're being fanciful) let's you think maybe you're not killing yourself as fast. In every conversation I ever had with a smoker about quitting, no one ever said "I'm going to just keep cutting back and back and back until finally I'm done!" CAUSE YOUR BODY WANTS THAT FUCKING CRACK.
