Quitting Smoking....

[barefeetarebest]

Okay, besides the obvious benefits, does anyone think that becoming a non-smoker would increase ticklishness? Really, i think there may be something to this as i have been experimenting with smoking less and i notice a change before i resume smoking in perceived sensitivity; in other words the longer i go without, the more the sensitivity increases, especially at the feet? Does this make sense to anyone? Have not been able to test this hypothesis in a tickling situation, but nonetheless, maybe I have one more good and really meaningful reason to quit....

Are you sure it's not the craving for nicotine that makes you think you are perceiving more? I quit cold turkey three months ago and did notice that perhaps I had some type of heightened awareness that went away as time passed. I still get a small craving but it is easy to toss aside now.

Not quite sure, Kered. It's not like i have gone days w/o lighting up... haven't even gotten over initial withdrawal pangs, so to speak. Just maybe some wishful thinking😀 btw, Happy Holidays to You and Yours!!

Same to you and yours at the shore!

Well, the one thing you WILL have is a better blood flow and more oxygen being delivered to all your body parts so that "might" increase awareness and sensativity. Quit NOW if you can. I use to puff 3 packs a day and it took a huge toll on my health when it finally caught up with me. Now I have not had a smoke in over 2 years and I feel so much better and my house doesn't smell of smoke anymore...oh yeah, and I am saving hundreds of dollars per year as well!

I don't think so but everyone is different.Maybe tickling can help you quit though

I quit years ago, but I was just as sensitive then as I am now. In fact, one of my ex-girlfriends tried using tickling as a type of "Aversion Therapy" in order to help me quit. She'd smell smoke on me and would punish me by tickling the crap out of me. It didn't work, however, as I smoked for years afterwards and developed a keen interest in tickling.

Mimi mentioned years ago when she quit smoking that her feet--which were already pretty damn sensitive to begin with--were fucking unbearably ticklish afterward. To the point where she almost never let anyone other than Lazarus touch them (and even then not often).

So you never know, it just might.

If so, what a good incentive! I should like to test this out personally and therefore i do resolve to quit!

That's excellent news and I hope you make it!Best of luck to you!

Glad you're quitting but I fail to see the correlation between tickling and nicotine addiction.

I quit a few years ago and intense laughter not ending up in yucky coughing fits is a big plus.

As for what you are feeling now... I tend to be more ticklish when I am a little bit nervous. It might be touch of that.

Theres so many things that can effect your ticklishness, silly things that seem to make no sense,

For instance, Im more ticklish in a car 😉
