Many people have told me, um, if I quit smoking, I'm going to gain weight.
gpt
Mm.
human
Well, food really doesn't taste good, but they say it tastes much better-
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
-if you quit smoking.
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
Now the downside to that is I'm gonna gain weight.
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
That means a new wardrobe, which I'd like to have, but I can't afford it.
gpt
Okay. So right now you're seeing that it's a part of your life. It's been a part of your life off and on for 18 years.
human
Mm-hmm.
gpt
It's become a more important part of your life because you found yourself smoking at times that you thought I'll never smoke then.
human
Right.
gpt
Yeah. And your worry is that if you stop, you will end up gaining weight. So I'm hearing this kind of list of things that don't feel so positive about stopping.
human
Mm-hmm.
gpt
I'm wondering what else might be on that list.
human
Um, withdrawal.
gpt
Mm.
human
They say it's awful. Um, being cranky.
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
And if I do go through this, I just hope my friends understand and will support me in what I'm trying to do.
gpt
Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah. So added to the other list is the having to go through the withdrawal-
human
Mm-hmm.
gpt
-the unpleasantness of that. Okay. What else might be on the, not so good side about smoking- about stopping?
human
Um, I think everything's on the bad side about smoking, but, um, I've just smoked so long. I-I just can't imagine-
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
-not- going through life without smoking.
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
I know I've got to stop. Uh, I'm having no health problems from cigarettes-
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
-at present, but when the doctor told me this morning what could be waiting for me in the future-
gpt
Mm-hmm.
human
-that made me rethink-
gpt
Mm.
human
-everything.
