@CommunityAdmin Interesting discussion. Glad I listened. I'm always interested in the physical and psychological aspects of nicotine addiction. Unfortunately, how many new quitters are receiving this information. We have "new" quitters here everyday. And that's it. Never heard from again.
I question the comment that smokers aren't as active. Many quitters here were very active when they smoked- joggers, swimmers, etc. My activity is at the same level - daily exercise and daily routine activities.
Less people smoke now then before. Since I retired, there was not in a group of smokers that I had to avoid. I didn't spend all my time with smokers because they didn't exist. Didn't really bother me that I went off and smoked by myself. I was never ashamed or embarrassed that I smoked.
Do agree with how supportive the site is and how helping others helps to maintain our own quits.
There are as many quits here as there are quitters.
