You tried an e-cig, Mos? Dad went to a 0mg e-cig after his stroke. I think he still sneaks a cigarette every now an then but that's much better than 2 packs a day.

My father-in-law has been using them to cut back on actual cigarettes/cigars. It's been working pretty well, and while most doctors will still tell you not to use at all, they also generally consider the e-cigs a better option.
Though admittedly, with their newness, there are still unknowns. But long-term it's hard to imagine them causing more damage than regular smoking.
Edit: There's also just allowing yourself to binge-eat any and all junk food you want as a concession to not smoking. I mean, it's not the healthiest option, but it's worked for some I've known! ...as long as you stop, you know. Shoving your face full of junk food at some point thereafter and don't just OD on Little Debbies.

The nicotine still isn't good for you, but getting rid of all the other nonsense in there (tar?!) can only help.

When I quit, which I should have never picked up in college in the first place, I wrote a Pros/Cons list. The only think that stood out on the Pro side was that it was an excuse to go outside and be away from people for my own decompression/meditative purposes. So, I just asked my boss if I could simply have ten or fifteen minutes to be outside and walk a quiet lap.

There's some confusion on that apparently. E-cigs ionize the syrup to make a vapor, and as far as I can tell, they aren't very well regulated. Ionizing things can create a whole host of dangerous compounds.
I'm reminded of an article I read about a welder who had been using MAF cleaner to remove mill scale before welding but ran out and used electo-parts cleaner instead. The fumes it gave off paralyzed him temporarily and cause permanent nerve damage. The two chemicals have nearly identical chemical makeup, but something in the electro-parts cleaner created a really nasty neuro poison when heated.

Well, yeah. Like I said. Not fully researched yet.
But preliminary info has them pegged as, at least, no worse than your oldschool smokes.
And there is also evidence indicating they can be helpful as a step-down to quitting. Both anecdotal and empirical.

I've always had a pretty loose addiction to cigarettes. I quit in my early 20's because I ran out of smokes one afternoon and just didn't feel like going to the store. I was forced to quit when I got hurt a few years back, because nicotine slows healing and bones are already very slow healing. I started again last year and I've had the hardest time quitting this time around.

The nicotine still isn't good for you, but getting rid of all the other nonsense in there (tar?!) can only help. My dad was still out of commission and I was responsible for finding him an e-cig. I dunno what Marlboro tastes like. The girl behind the counter was hitting on me and the guys sampling vapor looked at me like "the *** he just say?" when I said I wasn't a smoker and had no idea what whatever he smoked tasted like. The answer is it tastes *** with a tingling feeling and I don't recommend it. I told them 0mg because if I can deal with forcing his *** into an ambulance and then go to work, he can deal with quitting. >.> I'm unreasonable, I know.
Rooks, I'd like to reiterate my suggestion to add a confederate flag just so P&R has a ***fit to throw and I'd like to suggest a "This post triggered me." option to reports. Thank you and I look forward to these changes.

*** mad
add-on for a project we did 2 weeks ago, simple, put 2hrs into it, sent to production
request digital print for the logo....
....*** already made it. good?
no. not *** good, cause they used the *** original file to size it.
now the logo doesn't match up, in size, have to pulls theirs, clean it up, resize and make it production ready... AGAIN just to make it *** fit to their ***, when it is supposed to work backwards, instead of just grabbing the file we did 2 weeks ago and resizing that one.
so not only did I loose 2 hrs done, I have to *** add 2-4 hrs into this ***-order.

I smoked more than I care to admit in college. I think it was more "I will because I can" attitude, which is idiotic reasoning anyway. It tapered off a lot after I graduated with the exception of socially drinking, and a morning cigarette with coffee was so damn satisfying!

Why is the product different than the file? I get that stuff can get changed in production, but aren't they suppose to submit deviations for approval and documentation?
Redoing the same thing you just did is one of my biggest aggravations. My grandpa taught me, "There's 2 ways to do it: The right way, and again."

I don't really want to get too deep into this, but when I quit the last time, I found I couldn't go to the bathroom. Something about my morning ritual REQUIRED nicotine to get going. As if being stopped up or craving nicotine isn't bad enough, let's stick them together.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Continuation from: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/2873/ffxiah-linkshell/732/#150486
Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
