Maintain the Rage

[Ifoughtpiranhas]

Hello All

An important part of the quitting process for me has been getting angry with smoking and the lies and bs we're fed by the tobacco lobby. I find that looking at this website occasionally helps to maintain the rage:

forestonline.org/

You'll see that this outfit bills itself as "A Freedom Organisation" and "The Voice and Friend of the Smoker". Sad really isn't it.

Enjoy your day my fellow quitters.

Hya, did have a quick look, how ever if cigarettes were brought out today, knowing what we now know, they WOULD be banned I'm sure..

People still choose to smoke...

I think it's quite the opposite - once addicted, people smoke because they have no choice. Nobody experiments with smoking expecting to become an addict, but the addiction robs them of any concept of choice:eek::eek:

Spot on my friend, our first cigarette was smoked in blissful innocence. Even if we were aware of the addictive nature of nicotine, the "it won't happen to me" thinking prevailed. What's the old pithy saying "if I knew then what I know now" springs to mind
