Do you smoke

[dherbman]

hi all
just want to add my 2 cents worth
me and my buddy both smoke it was our choice i dont want to try and blame anybody for it i did quit for about 12 months but slowly started again (again my choice)/ nearly every body i know who don't smoke are constantly on at me to stop. my father died of cancer 3 years ago he smoked for over 50 years and died at 80 after giving up in his late 60's. i'm only saying this so everyone understands i know the dangers i know how hard it is to stop and stay stopped. the thing with smokers is if they feel treatened or agitated or stressed the first thing they are going to do is light a cig it's what we do it's why the ad's dont work you see an ad that tells you these things are going to kill you the first thing you do is light up. the ciggaretts even have the warning on the pack you feel stressed you light up
i know i;m repeating my self but getting on our case dose nobody any good we light up nonsmokers get on our case more we get more stressed we light up again
i am very aware that we are now out numbered ireland went smoke free 2 years ago no smoking in any workplace this even means your own home if you have workers in . i try to be polite and will always stand down wind of people. we go outside to smoke when out for a drink or stay in the beer garden (which is not plesant in ireland in winter)and even still people are on our case.
i will quit again someday when i'm ready to so please give us guys a break

How's your SAC?

I go smokeless.... Copenhagen Dip

That works for me.

i'm not sure never worked it out but i know i usually have the most air at the end of a dive
this might be because i dive with a 300 bar 10L tank (thats about 4300psi in a 80cf)

I quited smoking with Zyban, it REALLY helped, but beware it can have strong / dangerous side effects, many docs don't advice it.

I stoped diving for one year and quited smoking meanwhile, before I used to suck air a lot and now i'm ok. Is it the explanation?

 

[gregorio]

It would be intersting to sort the result geographically:
from my observation:
- south east asia: lots of smokers
- nederland, almost none
- france, lots
your turn...

I don't smoke!

 

[Lamnid]

yeah and especially around the red sea it's popular to take sheesha after diving even if you're not a smoker normally!!

I do, I keep trying to quit, but everyone seems boud and determined to help me when I do.

Here's a hint non-smokers... telling someone who's quiting how bad cigs are for them every 5 mins does not help, it just gives us nic fits.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has that exact problem.. just a bad are those who tellyou how good you are for trying... JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! this is tough enough with out your comments.

BTW .. MY dad didn't raise any GOLL DERNED QUITTER!

Yes, but Sheesha doesn't really ount at .5% nicotine, 0% tar and little else but vapor...
