State of Maryland Says “No more to buying cigars online!”

In case you missed it, recently the State of Maryland House Bill 88 denies online vendors the ability to sell Other Tobacco Products (OTP, products other than cigarettes) to Maryland consumers. If I want to buy cigars from a vendor outside of Maryland, whether by Phone, Fax, or Internet, I cannot. I contacted Michael Vorgetts, [...]

Smoke Free and Chantix

Just an FYI for all those that are searching and reading. I’ve been smoke free for over 7 months now with Chantix. I took it for a total of 2 1/2 months and stopped. I stopped because I was forgetting to take the pill and didn’t have any cravings. I’m also not much of a [...]

Chantix – No Pill And Still No Smoking

I quit taking Chantix a couple days ago and so far every thing is fine. I don’t feel stressed, I don’t feel suicidal, and I don’t have any desire to smoke. I’m positive that if you truly want to quit but just need the help getting over that hump than Chantix will do it. If [...]

With the smoking ban coming in to play Feb. 1st, it has been getting better and better in the bars. I’m curious to see what Canton’s going to look like Feb. 1st. I know New York City complained about the amount of smokers out on the streets and out in the public; Fells Point and [...]

Chantix – Week 2, and Baltimore’s under some serious wind!

The weekend was good. We went out for the girlfriends birthday and had some beers and dinner at Outback. I kept myself generally busy with conversation which helped to avoid any form of desire to smoke. The desire wasn’t near as bad as it could have been with people standing around talking, laughing, and joking [...]

Chantix – Day 4 and 5

Day 4 and 5 were a real test to Chantix and quitting smoking. Yesterday was a very stressful day with the amount of work being thrown at me as well as the challenges I was facing. One of the things I used to do in the past was “reward” myself with a cigarette after a [...]

Chantix – Day 1, 2, and 3

I started Chantix a week before my quit date (which they instruct you to do) and have been doing good. There’s nothing really necessary to do that first week, other than making sure you eat before you take the pill. I’ve been doing very well though. When I have down time I keep myself busy [...]

How to avoid feeling bad when someone asks you for a smoke on the street

Now this only works if you’re smoking while walking on the street. When someone asks you for a cigarette, just give them the one you’re smoking! It’s ingenious, they don’t want it because they can’t turn around and sell it for 5 cents or 10 cents later and they usually don’t smoke anyways so they [...]
