Articles: How goth is THIS?! |

Hey all, I have a question:
Have you ever been sitting in your not so favorite bar, but you're there because the gay bar is always full on the weekends, but anyway....
You're enjoying your drink, enjoying your favorite black papered clove cigarette when the charm is disrupted by a typical smoker's hack....you look into your napkin at what your body has expectorated as mommy has always taught you to do....
a blood clot.
you run to the bathroom.
A F*ING blood clot.
I was under the impression that only the seriously strong clove cigarettes would cause your lungs to bleed, not the lighter potency blends.
I hacked up and goddamned bloodclot.
I asked a guy at work if I was going to die, and he informed me that regular smoking of them thar cloves will cause tiny cists to form in your lungs, and that I probably just burst one of them. *EW*
Needless to say I've cut my smoking dramatically, but I don't want to quit :(
Does anybody have any info on if I'm dying or what?
I dont' like regular cigarettes much, and I know I can quit cold turkey, I do once and a while just to make sure I can. WHAT DO I DO?!
I'm so goth I hack bloodclots....how goth is that?

Bettie,
This would be a REALLY good time to quit smoking, at least for a few months. Your lungs need to heal. Constantly exposing them to cigarette smoke does not allow them to heal.
Clove cigarettes can be worse than regular cigarettes. Clove oil is an anaesthetic, so it slightly numbs the back of your throat while you smoke it. This leads to the smoke being inhaled much more deeply. This leads to even more damage.
You may want to see a doctor. Perhaps a chest x-ray is in order.
Are you on the pill? If so, QUIT SMOKING NOW! The combination of the two can cause blood clots everywhere in the body, which can lead to strokes.
Take care of yourself! Quitting smoking may be hard, but emphysema and lung cancer are a whole lot worse.

I know....I've been smoking them alot lately, almost over a half a pack a day...I've cut back to four per day _MAX_, and don't inhale all the way. I've had nothing else work it's way up as of yet, but if it does happen, I'll go scampering shamefully to the doctor over what I've done to my body...
It's not that I find quitting smoking hard. I quit cold turkey every few months just to make sure I still can. I just don't WANT to. I love cigarettes. A LOT.
I know I probably should, and perhaps I will, but right now it upsets me that I may have to give them up.
I'm such a whiney baby. I just want to hear "oh, that's normal body cleansing...keep smokin' your brains out!" but I know that is a crock of you know what...
thanks M....your words aren't wasted on deaf ears.
*grumble*
I wanna cigarette :( |

Re: How goth is THIS?! by Meranda_Jade (scurtis510@home.com) on Jul 24, 2001 - 01:22 AM (User info | Send a Message) | Know what you mean, I've quit before, and was perfectly clean for over a year, but started again, because it made me happy. I know it's ruining my body and my health... hard to breathe sometimes, 'speshly when exercising, or walking fast... but it's a "breaktime" for me... something I do just for myself.... trying to cut back to 3 cigarettes a day for health reasons... difficult, though... cloves i used to smoke only when I was out and could bum them, it made them kinda special... when I have them at home I always smoke too much and always suffer for it... i haven't had any blood clots, but I'm always paranoid about cancers and stuff... and smoking is what killed my grandma... my favorite person in my family... besides, it's pollutive, not only to myself but everything else.... (those cigarette butts hafta go somewhere) ... all in all, a better choice not to smoke... wish there was some other way to "reward" myself, that has a certain time limit, like the burning of a cigarette.... I know I can quit, I've done it, but like you, I don't want to... *sigh* why do all the little pleasures have to be so bad for you? |

Well Bettie,
I think you'd better just stop trying to kill yourself and quit smoking if you expect the continue attemping to call yourself Goth.
