USPA 0 #52 March 5, 2003 Smokers are the most anti-social people in the world. Sure to kill yourself (1570% more change on lung cancer alone). But to polute everyone else? I'm being sick and tired of being forced to be in smoke of someone else... The trouble with skydiving; If you stink at it and continue to jump, you'll die. If you're good at it and continue to jump, you'll see a lot of friends die... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,439 #54 March 5, 2003 A couple of things that might make it easier to make it past the first little bit: 1. You begin to smell better as soon as you've cycled through your clothes in the washer; usually a week and you start really noticing. 2. The body fixes itself a whole lot faster in the beginning than it ends up, so it doesn't take 5 years to repair half of the damage.

Rebecca 0 #55 March 5, 2003 Thanks Wendy! 1. Yeah I'm really looking forward to smelling better in both senses (dumb pun intended)- my clothes & hair, and my sense of smell. A few recent quitters at the DZ commented about how much sharper their sense of smell has become- they wanted it dulled again after a few pungent jump runs! 2. Good to know. I used to be able to play and run all day, and I'd like to be able to do that again without going into cardiac arrest. I just need to remember how crappy I feel right now next time I crave a smoke...

Push 0 #56 March 5, 2003 What I find the best is the chronic smokers frantically yelling at me because I'm throwing my life away by jumping out of planes. Bwahaha. I'm an asthmatic. Never tried it, have no desire to try it, wouldn't even if I wasn't asthmatic. BTW, studies show that smoking causes asthma in your children. No, I don't think it was my father (he smokes), it was more likely the polluted environment in my case. My generation in Russia has an abnormal rate of chronic breathing deseases. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca 0 #58 March 5, 2003 Thanks! I've made it this far, which, unfortunately isn't saying much since I don't didn't smoke during the day anyway. Now if I can just survive the after-work hours...Thanks for the encouragement! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Iflyme 0 #59 March 6, 2003 QuoteThe years you add on to your life when you quit smoking are all at the end, and those aren't that much fun anyway. Ya, I guess watching grandchildren grow up is a lousy thing to live for... Anyway, nothing pissess me off more than seeing people smoke in a vehicle when kids are in the car...
