How can I stop chain smoking when I drink socially?!


Question: How can I stop chain smoking when I drink socially!?
I never ever smoke unless I am drinking!. I know a lot of people smoke and drink socially as it goes hand in hand!. I do this, but I swear I could light one after the other!. I'm like a binge smoker lol!.

I know it bad for me, so I don't need a health lesson 101!. I'm just wondering if anyone else is just a social smoker and what they did to help break the habit!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
everybody smokes alot when they drink!. i got hammered monday night and burned a pack and a half!.
the real question is why would you want to stop!?
yes its bad for you, but you obviously enjoy it!. so whats the problem here!?

by the way, i smoke about a pack a day and am very happy with that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you always light up when you have a drink, the smartest thing to do would be to not have a drink!.

You are most likely not addicted in the way that people need patches and have withdrawal symptoms (unless you are a nightly drinker, when maybe you have more than a smoking problem)!. But instead have an ingrained behavior!.

To break the behavior of smoking while drinking, have a drink while eating or somewhere you can not light up!. Then simply go home after (I know it is boring but you want to quit)!.

Another thing that helps heaps is to recruit a Nazi!. Someone who will rip into you and make a scene (yelling, throwing your smokes away etc!.) if you do smoke!. They also bring comic relief to the night, sometimes making you in the end forget your the one with a problem (but don't use that as an excuse to fag up)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Believe it or not, you are actually addicted to nicotine!. I'm a daily smoker and used to chain-smoke when drinking!.

Try taking a couple of cigars or cigarillos with you when you go out and that may curb your cravings for cigarettes!. I take my cigarette case when I go out partying but I only put 5 regular cigs in it and fill the rest with clove cigarettesWww@FoodAQ@Com

I try to avoid this by carrying a hard candy, that will not fight the taste of my drink with me!. Like when I drink cherry limeade martinis I have some cherry jolly ranchers on hand to suck on so I can still drink, but my mouth is already busy with a candy!.!.!. also all of our bars and restaurants are non-smoking so it is a lot easier to quit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, smoking is bad for you!.!.!. but so is drinking!.

A friend had the same problem, never smoked unless he was out drinking!.!.!. his girlfriend at the time resolved the issue, and he hasn't smoked since!. Just don't buy the cigarettes will help resolve the issue, or go to bars that don't allow smoking (more and more lately)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
