Also for people complaining (or not complaining) about the weight they gained. I'm going to safely assume, you do no kind of physical activity/work out then? I for one would find it rather...astonishing if you did some kind of activity and simply resigned from smoking to gain such drastic weight.

Also I couldn't comprehend dying from cancer then obesity, seen way to many people struggle with that. However, obesity would be up on my list, but that's easily avoidable (especially now a days)

but Dr. Phil says being fat is a disease? its not GSR's fault that he loves cheesy poofs

...Hate to say it, I agree with Dr.Phil (granted there are circumstances, where it is difficult to overcome) in the regards that "obesity" is the disease, not being fat. I just don't think anyone cares to take care of themselves anymore. I plan on keeping my body for my entire life, I might as well take care of it by not inhaling poison, dieting/eating right, and spending a measly 10 hours per week.

Sure you can, as long as you have a fast metabolism and know a day or two ahead of a test you should be fine. I know people who have gone through PRACS without stopping and never got caught.

I see so many things wrong with your statements here. One I am very physically active, more so than average and still gained weight when I quit... Smoking raises your metabolism, obviously you have to offset that but it is sort of a drastic change, not to mention the chemical dependency (withdrawal) you go through quiting, needing something to take its place. If you have never done it then you really should not assume.

Also if you are only smoking a pack of cigarette's a week I am sure smoking is not a major concern for you, as it should be quite easy to quit... that is less than 3 cigarettes a day. I would have to say that if you are only smoking 3 cigarettes a day then you are a casual smoker, smoking for pleasure, not physical addiction.

Also obesity is a very large problem in our country that is not being addressed at all. Obesity is on thing, Diabetes and, not to mention heart conditions are what I would be more worried about...

^^^^Very well put. I agree with everything you just said. ^^^^

Now, Imagine smoking more than 2 packs a day and trying to replcae that with something. My activity level didn't change either. I just never got more active to offset the metabolism change. Now, I gotta work my ass off to try and get back to a weight I'm actually comfortable with.

Dr. Phil is not a doctor...

I quit chewing this summer, I had done that for the past 4 years. Then I started smoking to compensate, been in the process of trying to quit for the past couple months.

I used the gum to get through the first 4 days and it worked great for me. The key is not only to stop smoking, but to make sure you are mentally ready to never, ever smoke again...ever...not when you are drunk, not when you are pissed about something...never. Good luck man:icon_thumright:

weeman

i will try it and hope for the best!!!!

MisterCMK

Good luck man. You gotta tell yourself that you are not going to smoke again. Also be prepared for the triggers, the times when you would normally want a smoke.

I know Dave. Good guy. Haven't spoken to him in awhile. See him around quite a bit though.
