Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on here. The dental hygiene program is crazy stressful and takes up all my time. But through it all I have never wavered on my quit. There would be no way I could smoke while doing this job that's for sure. So anyway I'm working on my smoking cessation project and one of my slides is going to address the social pit falls of smoking. I'm going to list a few things that smokers may feel bad about socially because they smoke. So smelling bad, making others cough will be on there. But I thought I'd ask you guys what your personal thoughts were on it. Did you get anxious being around people after you smoked? How did other people react to you if they smelled the smoke. Feel free to chime in and let me know. This website is part of my slide show because out of everything I tried this was the only thing that worked for me.
The shame of having to go outside when everyone is inside socializing.
Missing out on the conversation to get outside for a fix.
Not going to events because you don't know how/where you will be able to smoke.
