No he started then quit them started again then he quit.
Yeah. I smoked about 5 cigs a day for around 6 monthes. Then quit for a year, then started, then quit again. Kinda complicated, but I am happy to be rid of the habit.
holy cow. How old are you?
15
That’s crazy dude. Glad you’re off the habit.
Yeah, I stopped alot of other stuff too.
I’m clean because of yoyos. It took my mind off of addiction, and I’m proud of it
Traded one addiction for another, eh? ;D
Be proud of yourself, lexos. Way to go 
Quitting smoking is always preferable
When I was in Vietnam, there’s no age issues. People were selling them by the pack or individually to kids, who in some instances were offered a light right after the purchase so they could smoke it. Made me beyond angry.
With all the data, propaganda and other information telling people “Don’t smoke”, it just amazing that people still pick up the habit. We’re watching our elders, peers and friends dying and suffering from this.
Yeah, let’s trade the smoking for throwing. Much better option. At least with yoyo, you’re not making others around you gag on your smoke.
You can guess, I am actively encouraging everyone who smokes to give it up.
I am overweight as well. Have been my whole life. Not enormously fat, but definitely over my ideal weight.
The food we Americans learn to eat us just as unhealthy, addictive and deadly. Ill tell you, I think going the last two weeks without junk food has been harder and made me grouchier than quitting smoking.
I can’t stress enough how much better I feel. I have so much more energy, a spring in my step where there wasn’t one before. I didn’t realize how bad I used to feel.
The only downside is relearning how to sing. I don’t have to push as hard to hit notes. It’s like throwing a big clunky 76g yoyo for a week then picking up a 60g floater.
Studio was in Vietnam?
what instruments do you play Waylon? i find that playing or writing music helps me to relax.
I play a little of everything, but mainly guitar. I’m a singer/songwriter.
Hey, maybe you can write yourself a ballad about how you beat smoking to death with a yoyo.
Yuki
Would that be a ballad?
Wouldn’t be too different to ballads about knights slaying dragons…
Yuki
For 3 weeks in 2002 after I got married.
That makes sense
Yeah.
I always thought ballads were supposed to be romantic.
I hate to say it, because I am 15, but my mother went out and bought me an Electronic Cigarette.
You can heighten and lower the doses of nicotine, and in my case, I was using 0 nicotine.
I still got the feel/smoke/taste of cigarettes, but without the 2000+ harmful chemicals.
It was really more of an oral fixation for me, and it helped me ween off of cigs.
It is a cheap, alternative method I felt significant enough to mention.
