    My GF is changing me a lot.. she made me quit drinking, yeah no alcohol for past 1 month and she is making me quit smoking too, didnt smoke for past 2 weeks... Its good for me and her. They say quiting smoking would make me gain weight, is it true. Can any one suggest me with something to do when i feel like smoking.

Personally I used chewing tobacco, or whatever it's called in English, when I quitted, but I doubt your girlfriend would appreciate that. ;) "After all it's just text at the end of the day. - Colin Davies "For example, when a VB programmer comes to my house, they may say 'does your pool need cleaning, sir ?'

      Exercise is effective for a lot of people. Take a walk, do some pushups or crunches, squeeze one of those spring thingies they make for tightening your grip. Kick the cat. Clean something around the house. Wash the car. Dance.:-D Good luck!:) "My kid was Inmate of the Month at Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections Center" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City

      I've heard muscle mass, unlike fatty fat, actually consumes calories. It's doing well for me. Norman Fung

            Muscle doesn't consume anything, unless you use it. Fat cells (adipose tissue) store calories that you consume but don't use, but those calories are available to provide the energy required to construct new muscle tissue from proteins that you consume.

              So long as you are doing it for the right reasons... And, since you have a girlfriend, you have the best possible alternative thing to do everytime you feel the urge to smoke. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."

Of those that did gain weight they admitted that the reason they did so was because they ate more crappy fast food to help them get over the cravings. So, as far as I['m concerned... it doesn't make you put on more weight. Eating more food does. Regards, Brian Dela :-) http://www.briandela.com IE 6 required.

                      I think you need to see a doctor, Mr. Prakash. You’ve got GFTMLJ syndrome (Girl-Friend-Treat-Me-Like-Jelly) ;P Just kidding. Quitting smoking was cool of you. I do smoke myself, but only occasionally and I don’t take the tobacco smoke as deep into my lungs as regular smokers do, so chances of Cancer are reduced compared to regular smokers. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out why you quit drinking, unless you were a thorough alcoholic. Casual drinking is not a risk to health and I believe I’ve read versions that state that it’s actually good for health and reduces chances of heart failure.

Don't try to justify it!!! It's a terrible habbit and not only bad for your own health but also bad for those around you. Passive smoking does kill. The smoking ban in all work places (including bars, restaurants etc) was the best thing that the current Irish government has done in their years of power :-D The medical profession has already reported a massive drop in the number of people comming into hospitals/medical practices with coughs, lung problems, etc and it's only been 5 months since the ban came into effect. In the long term they expect it will increase the average life expectancy by around 3-4 years (which is actually massive considering that only a small number of the population smoke)... and Ireland already has one of the highest life expectancies in the developed world (2nd highest I think :-)) Regards, Brian Dela :-) http://www.briandela.com IE 6 required.

                                        Oh that is different, every man should be afraid of having girlfriends. Not good when one finds out about the others. But scared of having a girlfriend? Why? It's great. The love, the fun, the joy, the heartache, the arguements, the love, the fun, the joy. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python." Crikey! ain't life grand?
