...do you get more beautiful? How soon?

Or do you get so bitchy that your eyes scare people and you lose your only friend you have?

Or you gain weight so beauty is...in future therapy after which you start smoking again because those therapists are so annoying...

Share if anyone got more beautiful after quitting smoking. And NO! Dying is not a point of discussion! Tons of people died who hadn’t held a cigarette even between legs...so...stick with OP!

Thanks

Well u stop smelling like shit, and that's a plus.

The thing is I don’t smoke for 10 hours on a job! But after I come home I smoke like a pack and wake up non smoking again for 10 hours...

I have a weird addiction that can wait...

Nope. Every time I’ve quit, all I accomplished was gaining a few lbs and losing all my fingernails. But I felt better after a night of going out and certainly smelled better.

Like you, I’m not a full time smoker, per se. It’s made it harder to quit, because I try to justify it. Bloody expensive tho. And I don’t want my Shorty thinking it’s something I condone. Bad enough the Tall One smokes. Don’t wanna negatively influence the youngest as well.

But I’ll let ya know if a miracle happens and I become beautiful.

I quit 5 years ago. 6 months later I was severely hypothyroid with autoimmune thyroiditis. Gained about 30lbs in those 6 months, just kept getting sicker and sicker. Found out after some research that it's really common if you have a genetic predisposition.

So now I'm on replacement hormone amd have to eat very strict in order not to gain weight and to be able to think straight. At one point I had lost all 40lbs I had gained amd felt better than I had in 20 years. I still feel good but have gained about 20 back and I've beem terrible with my eating habits.

I won't ever go back to smoking though. I've haf a cigarette now amd then and it doesn't do what it used to for me.
