Aug 16, 04 07:47 pm — I did this pharmaceutical study last year for Rimonabant, a selective CB1 endocannabinoid receptor antagonist for the treatment of obesity and cessation of smoking. I've been off of it since December, but still have no desire to smoke a cigarette. Now I can smell fragrances and not just odors. I can run without feeling like my lungs are on fire. No more pock marks on the carpet of my car. I don't have that strong layer of nicotine smog trailing me, and coating my hands. I can smell a smoker two blocks away now. I'm guessing the money I'm saving is going into my gas tank and on my two pack a day juicy fruit habit. It's amazing that I smoked for around twenty years, it's like banging your head against the wall as hard as you can because it feels so good when you stop.
On a side note:
Anyone else notice the censoring of links lately. It seems like I have clicked on a few links only to have them open up a new madville home page with that link missing. I've notice this mostly on "just posted" articles but have also seen it happen to "controversional" or political articles.
congrats bro, i havent exactly made it a full year yet, but i have managed to lose most of my cravings and all that. I've "cheated" a few occasinos with clove-cigarettes, but those things are so nasty they will set you straight in no time :-P impossible to like those tings hehe
In my circle of friends pall mall, camel unfiltered and kool filter kings are the rule. Clove falls into that eclectic or GAY category. (not that there is anything wrong with that). Yeah, in the beginning I quit for like two weeks and then broke down and smoked one, it was like cold heroin hitting warm blood. I gave up motha too... (until I ran into a friend with some hydro...)
in my experience clove cigarettes have been "goth" as well as "gay."
congrats
almost 2 years for me..though i have been on the green stuff again as of late...damn i missed that
What....salad?
coming into 3 years for me and I am one of those annoying exsmokers that just cant stand to be around a smoker cuz they fucking stink!
I cant stand to be around them because they make me want to smoke.
I've been smoke free for almost 30 years now. Never even had an urge.
Congratulations on your 2 year mark btw. Its tough.
The biggest of CONGRATS to you!! Im gonna save your post for inspiration!!
so how much money do you figure you saved?
Well done mate, I'm 10 months off them, but being around smokers doesn't bother me too much
As I read your post , I'm enjoying a nice, aromatic cup of coffee and I just lite up my second cigarette of the morning. The first one is good, but the second one of the day is better. I enjoy smelling the pack as I open it . I enjoy holding that ciagette in my hand, anxiously lighting it with my shitty , disposable lighter. Then that first drag gives me a rush that can not be duplicated for the rest of the day. Always have to have two in a row with the morning coffee. Then just driving around listening to music with the car window , slightly open to let that wonderful smoke escape the car. Lunch time, light up while I read the menu and decide. Eat my meal anticipating my apres cigarette. Later just have one with a diet Coke . Then dinner the best activity to smoke after, with the exception of love making. Have a nice cocktail and cigarette, while I decide what to eat. Then after the main course order a decadent dessert with a cup of coffee, to enjoy with a cigarette afterwards. I truly enjoy smoking.
P.S. Congrats on quitting. ***exhales***
Maybe you can give me some tips 
. Ive cut down alot in the past three months but still havent quite kicked it yet, the cig after a meal is the hardest!
Someone start a fund to send this man a carton of Camel Turkish golds stat.
Gramps
Congrats on kicking the disgusting cig habit.
It is supposed to be tougher to beat than heroin addiction, according to my sources.
