I guess I will share!
I am trading in cigarettes for toothbrushes!! woo hoo! (ok so I got a patch on too)
Well, I decided to quit, and since sex really is the best substitute, and I haven't had much of that lately, I am chewing on tooth brushes..
And when I get mad at someone, I get to flick spit on em when I point at them with my toothbrush!!
SOOO any advice from anyone that will help out..I would really appriciate it.
YES YES YES YES>.....See I told you that you could do it...Great work!!! Keep going the end is the reward and being with your kids is a big part of it, great work.
WOW! Never thought of Sonicare!!! lol...I could aford one NOW!!! oooooooohhhhhhhh!and yes, I know the kids will be better for it too!!
Congrates darlin!! Very happy to hear about your steps to quit smoking.Chewing on tooth brushes is a new approach, but hey whatever works for you doll!! Just don't pick up the Lemon Head addiction I have right now... damned things lol
That is why the tooth brushes!!! last time I used suckers and hard candy! my mouth hurt, and when I needed to chew on somthing, they were all gone SO I picked up the tooth brushes, and I CHEW AND CHEW, and they look like somthing that my mother used to keep under the kitchen sink for scrubbing cracks..lol
6 month check in! Waaahhh...It is NOT f****** easy!! on again off again. Especially when I had a bad reaction to the patches in the heat...I do so good for a bit, then it creeps in and now, I go for drives to get off the ranch and do it cause they don't want me here if I am smoking...sniffle. I even got in trouble for doing it in MY trailer!!! I can burn candles, incense, and bbq to my hearts content, but no smoking on the ranch "cause I might burn it down" pfft, lousy excuse...Just stuck in another place with someone playing a power trip!!As if I didn't know it was a nasty, toxic, smelly bad thing!!And shall I gross you all out really good? It worked on the boss!! Started chewing a bit, when the hard cravings hit here at home...ya ya, I know there are better things out there, like nicotene gum. But it is SO cool to see the "power tripper" turn so green!!! Also, got this question about chew..I know about the mouth, throat and stumache cancers that you can get...but whats in there that is missing in the nicotene gums?? I know they are made up of "different" stuff. But if I am sucking on nicotene, I am sucking on nicotene right??????

There's a whole witches brew of chemicals (including tars and carbon monoxide) that you get when you burn tobacco. It's some of the chemicals in the tar, and some of the gasses, that are carcinogenic.The nicotine should have the same effect on your body that it would if you got it from chewing tobacco. It presumably enters the bloodstream more slowly than it would if you got the nicotine from smoked tobacco, so it might not have as negative an effect on the cardiovascular system. By the way, nicotine was thought to be non-carcinogenic, and it may be, but it may also have a negative effect on the body's ability to get rid of genetically damaged cells.
SteveA> There's a whole witches brew of chemicals (including tars and carbon monoxide) that you get when you burn tobaccoI am asking about the nicotine gum, losenges, VS. tobacco that you spit.....It is all bad...where is the diff...I haven't found it
Oh. Well that's very different. When you chew you don't get the carbon monoxide you get when you smoke. Also, whatever you get from the tobacco (like nicotine) gets into your bloodstream more slowly if you chew rather than smoke. The downside of chewing is having all those nasty chemical in long-term contact with the tissues of your mouth, throat, and other parts of your digestive system. Smoking and chewing both can have very bad effects on oral health. (Any chemistry-oriented folks around who can explain what different substances you get in smoking versus chewing?)Smokeless tobacco is not quite as dangerous as smoking, but it's still quite bad.
