You read that here folks. All the Shock Drifting members, and the people who hang out with Luke, tell me if he smokes another cigarette, because if he does, I'll be expecting a Weld Locd4 my way soon, lol.

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 02:52 AM

dammit. lol

well not plannin on it.

ALTRNTV · 03-22-2006, 02:58 AM

Just smoke one, you know you want to.

I'm just fucking with you. I'll buy a Locd3 from you next month.

You should make that your avatar.

Nan Desu Ka?! · 03-22-2006, 04:16 AM

glad i never started...

you can do it Luke! damn, i think every time i have seen you, especially at the parties, you have had a cig in ur mouth...

here's to not giving death a blowjob! woot.

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 04:35 AM

haha. yea when im drunk i smoke a whole pack within 3 hours. im tired of smelling like my cat. haha.

Var · 03-22-2006, 04:41 AM

i quit last tuesday. cold turkey. going good so far.

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 04:44 AM

Holy shit. Its var. the guy that doesnt pick up my calls. lol joking.

anyways its wierd how when you stop smoking your mind feels like it did when you were young. lets chilling this weekend var.

ranisron · 03-22-2006, 05:47 AM

I am using Nicorette right now. It has been working out pretty well. The downside is that if I don't have gum with me when craving hits, SHIT...

good luck Luke, and good luck to myself

s14xman · 03-22-2006, 07:00 AM

i need to quit, i stink from smoking, my wife hates it, and i spend a lot of money on ciggs. Some things just go hand in hand with smoking like working on cars or drinking, so it's hard. I quite once during boot camp but i really didn't have a choice. I think you just inspired me to quit. Thanx and good luck

ryangreg · 03-22-2006, 09:11 AM

Look at a pack of Canadian smokes if you need inspiration!

DrtyRat · 03-22-2006, 09:40 AM

I quit smoking for about 3-4 yrs once(I don't smoke any more) and I realized the one thing I missed more than anything was the relaxing feeling of holding that cig in my fingers, taking in a deep breath of smoke, slowly releasing it, and then flicking the cig. I missed the regimine of smoking, and to this day if I see someone smoking I still want one. The most important thing to remember is that once you are addicted to something you are always addicted to it. Your body will always want the nicotine so don't ever think you got it beat....Good Luck!

I am shocked and appalled! lol

But good job Luke. I've never liked smoke...I hate the smell, especially with asthma/allergies.

Keep it up!

Hynes · 03-22-2006, 11:35 AM

Reading this post makes me want one. Went a week with almost no cravving, then yesterday I was with a friend of mine who is from China he brought me one of his Chiniese cig's to try. I thought it would be rude not to. now I want one.

And whats with this crack about canadian cigs?

sr240mike · 03-22-2006, 11:45 AM

Var smoked cigarettes?? I thought you just smoked Black & Milds.

But if you quit what are you going to do after sex? jk
Good going man, wish you luck. Now if I could only find a Nissan patch to keep me from throwing away money on my hatch...

RBS14 · 03-22-2006, 02:52 PM

Atta boy Luke! I'm sure Olga will like it too.

Lets make another deal. If you are still smoke free by the time I get up there for the summer (which you will be) I'll take your FD out for a couple laps at Altimont. Sounds good to me. haha

sw20>>s14 · 03-22-2006, 02:54 PM

man, its so hard...i was approaching the office today and theres a back way which goes straight to the elevators...then the main entrance which passes by the ashtrays...i was in a moral dilema with myself! it must have looked so queer cuz i was walking towards the back way then all of a sudden i would head to the smoke spot and back and forth and back and forth...finally found myself puffin on a mild... =( its so hard...

i read an interesting study where scientists and psychologists made some discoveries about DNA and brain chemistry...basically rationalizing for smokers, crackheads, alcoholics, the obese, etc...they made the conclusion that some people are more prone to be addicted to an external substance...and when you are addicted, its basically over...like its programmed in your DNA and brain to be an addict...and we all know that cigarettes alter your brain chemistry dramatically...so if your a "natural addict" added with the addiction that cigarettes cause, i guess youre fucked...sounds a lot like me...hence, some people saying quittings easy and others impossible...

gawd dammit, okay, im done...props to anyone that can or has quit...i just wish someday i can too...keep on truckin' luke...

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 03:53 PM

Scott. Sure thing (on the cone course) lol

sw20: Thanks. Are you using the patch or anything like that?

RBS14 · 03-22-2006, 03:56 PM

The interesting thing about cigarettes (the nicotine at least) is that they are not chemically addictive. Nicotine is actually a toxin to our bodies. The only addiction people have to cigarettes is mental. Not to say it's not a valid addiction, they can be more powerful than many chemical addictions. The Nicotine from cigarettes is flushed out by your body within 3 days of quitting. This is contrary to popular belief, but it's true. Real chemical addictions are to substances like opiates. If you've ever seen someone trying to quit heroin, you know what I mean.

sncs14 · 03-22-2006, 05:08 PM

Way to go Luke. I'm glad I never started.

**ThatGuy** · 03-22-2006, 05:22 PM

Keep it up Luke. I smoked in Highschool, but I'm glad I quit. The only time I smoke anymore, is a cigar while I golf. There's just something extra relaxing about smoking a good cigar while I'm on the course. I hope to never go back to cigarettes though. I can handle cigars because I don't smoke them very often. I only get to golf every couple of weeks or so.

Andrew Bohan · 03-22-2006, 06:14 PM

cigarettes are bad mmmkay?

ranisron · 03-22-2006, 08:36 PM

I have bought cigs for almost 2 weeks now... the savings go into the car for some 93 octane gas

and some fresh groceries... hehe...
