  2. Hi there. I'm just rejoining everyone at hypography and caught your posting here. We just had a trip with Boy Scouts out to Green Bank, WV touring the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. This was a wonderful and unforgetable experience. We recorded signals from the Milky Way. Thanks for sharing your post here.

  6. My husband helped me quit and it WAS EASIER that way. Just set your mind to it and don't back down. Tell your self and/or your sweetie that there is no going back. Sure you can rationalize your smoking and tell yourself I'll only smoke one. You don't just smoke one. Try asking yourself, Why smoke when lung cancer is a leading cause of death?
  7. Thanks for the posting Celeste, it's always interesting to read another perspective. I feel it necessary to point out that there are many different ways to look at smoking whether with negative judgement or advocating and dismissing alleged risks. Take a deep breath, the media is bad, but is it that bad that you get yourself worked up? Back to the lead question, Why do you continue to smoke when it could cause your death? Do you dismiss this fact? I know you say you will quit when you want. Ok, so when do you think you will quit? What do you think when you are smoking? My mom has smoked for approx 30+ years. She smoked when she was pregnant with me and as I grew up I continued to breath it in. I didn't develop asthma like other kids do, I was lucky. Why take the risk that the baby or child might have health problems or miscarriage? I smoked, but always outside and never where I would bother anyone else. I did not smoke while I was pregnant. I asked my mom not to smoke around the baby and she was offended. I don't want my baby to get sick and she is offended? This was 11 years ago, but it sticks in my mind when I think about it. We all need to advocate for the children no matter what age and for each other to better our health. If you haven't started smoking, don't. If you do smoke, think about quiting and if you are leaning towards quitting JUST QUIT! You can do it, just decide and stick with it, and don't go back. Oh yeah, My mom has COPD and Emphysema. She could die suffocating. How awful is that!
  8. So do you vote yes? Do you think you should be able to tell your workers they can't smoke?
  9. Welcome! I look forward to reading your posts. How long have you been a Nurse?

    Welcome! You sound like an interesting person with lots to contribute. I look forward to reading your postings.
  12. Welcome to Hypography. Best wishes and hope you enjoy the postings as much as I do.
  13. SO WHAT TYPE OF WORK DO YOU THINK QUALIFIES? Maybe it's comparing apples to oranges, but... Did you know health insurance rates are higher for a woman of child bearing age because she just might have a baby which would cost them more money? So what if the company didn't want to pay for that, should they say you can't have a baby because I am paying for your health insurance? I think the biggest concern where government and corporation control goes is, if you give them an inch they take a mile. I promote being smoke free because it is better in the long run. I don't promote taking away our personal rights.
  14. I see both sides, so convince me.
  15. Behavior modification is often a successful means of smoking cessation. :wink: When I smoked before I had a strong urgency to smoke after eating. If I didn't I became anxious and irritable. Going for a walk after dinner is ideal or for me dessert. I try to make it a small dessert. I prefer coffee with cream and sugar. Coffee/caffeine is a stimulant, helps you focus and it acts as an appetite supressant. :thumbs_up Oh yeah, it helps me get another hour or so of study time in or several hours of paperwork focus assistance. I really enjoy everyones contribution, but man I am starting to feel the urge. No worries. It's not worth it. What would I gain?
