it seems to be helping so far.

And beyond banning tobacco and making it illegal, I dont see any other way. most smokers are not motivated enough. The desire to quit does not outweigh the physical effects of withdrawal, I imagine.

I quit after 3 years, wasn't too hard. I can't imagine quitting after 10+ years.

Just stating facts. People who smoke cigarettes smell like ashtrays. No matter how hard you try to cover it up. I would indeed say this is thread worthy. So, quit smoking you smelly ass.

I'd very much like to. It's just that things like "smoking stinks" or "it kills you" aren't very helpful for quitting... we know it stinks and it's bad for us.

Maybe he was trying to quit smoking at the time, and it really impacted his work. But no, I'd never have said that was a Van Gogh just by looking at it.

i think it's a great bones *study!

This curious and somewhat macabre little painting is undated. It was probably executed in the winter of 1885-86, during Van Gogh’s stay in Antwerp. He had traveled there from Nuenen in November 1885, and in January 1886 – in order to have the opportunity to draw and paint after the live model – he enrolled at the art academy.

Students at Antwerp’s traditional academy learned by copying prints and studying plaster casts. After they had progressed sufficiently, they were permitted to study the live model. Skeletons were often used to help them understand human anatomy.

This skull with a cigarette was likely meant as a kind of joke, and probably also as a comment on conservative academic practice.
