Out for a smoke in the middle of the night.
Held the smoke up towards the black sky, aimed the camera, shot, then edited the contrast and such.

Shhhh.. It's a secret!

Kick it!!!!!

the best thing to stop smoking is "TABEX" but I don't know if it's available in USA.

It's great and you quit very easily, without putting on weight or without psychic pain of not having a cigarette etc.
It contains something which acts like nicotine but isn't nicotine and you must take about 10 pills a day for some (3, I suppose...) first days of taking it, then you take less and less and after about 2 weeks you don't even remember to take the pill as you don't really need it, because you don't have any willingness to have a cigarette.

The pack contains about 150 pills and almost half of it is still left after the end of the therapy, which is predicted to last for a month (but in reality you take the pills for about 2 - 3 weeks)

It really works, almost 10 of my friends (including my boyfriend!) quit smoking thanks to Tabex!

...so do it

It really sounded like a fabulous idea, but then I found this -

"TOXICITY OF CYTISINE

Tabex was experimentally studied for its toxicological action on different kinds of experimental animals. The acute LD50 toxicity, the subchronic (30 days) and the chronic (80-180 days) toxicity were determined. The acute toxicity was determined on line H albino mice (intravenously, subcutaneously and orally); rats (intraperitoneally, subcutaneously and orally); dogs (subcutaneously and orally).


Table 1 Acute LD50 toxicity in mice, rats and dogs with different nodes of administration "

Assuming that this drug may not work, I woudn't feel comfortable supporting a product with such a history.
Thanks though! I truly appreciate it!! Before I went vegan I tried all the regular over the counter stuff and things from my doctor, but now that I am vegan I stear clear of those to ensure my non-vegan habbit list does not get any larger than smoking.
I never say that I haven't stopped trying to quit!
I find it inspiring that you and so many of your friends were able to quit when you found something that works for you, I hope soon I'll have the same luck!

Oh dear, I didn't know about all this stuff :/

Sounds awful :/


...I didn't have to quit - I never started smoking

Yeah, sometimes it just takes a little digging, no worries though - companies deliberatly leave that off the main page. Most people have no idea that a lot of their daily products have some sort of history such as that one...


- That is TRULY amazing. What a smart lady you are!!!! Not only did you never smoke, but you also help other people quit. That is fantastic!

This smoke photo is beautiful. Smoke always seems so elegant to me, especially when captured as this is, against a black background.
