That's an entirely accurate analysis with one caveat...
Who wants to spend his whole life being 'adult' ´(and enjoy it at the same time)?

Haven't had one since New Year's Eve when I gave up.
I've done it cold turkey style and decided not to drink in January too to make it easier. Went out last night with some work mates and got a bit tipsy.

I'm actually enjoying life without smoking!
Never thought I'd do it

I quit after some health issues grew more serious over the past few months. I'm on day ten without a cigarette. It's the opposite of fun.

people say its only a "3 day hump" to get over and then you're fine.

i personally don't believe that. my wife has stopped since the beginning of this year. its been 4 weeks now, and she still is having some cravings.. its been pretty hard for her.

i eventually want to quit. really. its one of the dumbest things i ever did, was get addicted to smokes

Not surprised she finds it hard to quit, since you will still smell like ciggies, even if you don't actually smoke in front of her. You cruel person you!

I've cut it down to 7 packs a day.

I'm 9 months stopped and of course the cravings have eased considerably but personally i don't think they ever go completely

Started smoking at 13 & now I'm 39 so 26 years of smoking for me. I have tried to Quit but it seems like every time the wife light's a smoke up I end up lighting one up as well.



With all this crap in them I really should Quit.

YOU MUST BLESS THE BAKA CHIFE

I'm quitting this saturday. going to smoke my last cigarette friday night.
I've smoked for 35 years (a pack a day pretty much all of these years), and it's about time I quit.
$180.00 a month... I could use that money for something much better...

Since hard times USA started I have been rolling my own for less than $20 a carton and the tobacco doesn't have all the crap that processed cigarettes have, its organic!

I used to roll my own throughout the 80s and 90s. I switched to camel (filter) in 2002. and, sure, rolling your own is less expensive, and you can find organic tobacco (the native american brand), but still...

yeah, that's the one. I don't know anything about it, haven't tried it.

The manufactured cigarettes have a lot of extra "stuff" added to them, for one the goverment has required the tobaco companies to make them self extingush when left unattended, that is achieved through adding a chemical to the ciarette. By choice these companies have added different chemicals over the years to "improve" the functioning of the "product". All in all that adds up to a bunch of "stuff" that should not be in the manufactured cigarette, and I have noticed several distinct differences since rolling my own. I actually have trouble smoking a store bought cigarette now that I have been rolling my own for almost 6 months.


P.S. The organic thing was a joke...sorry...

Before quitting i smoked roll ups 95% of the time. Although much cheaper than 'regulars' my decision was based more on taste - i didn't really get the same enjoyment from smoking 'regulars' and at times even found the smell unpleasant, not nearly as enticing as the smell of rolling tobacco or pipe tobacco.

I've been smoke free since the beginning of November. Third time I've "quit" and it never gets easier. For the life of me I will never understand why I have twice, after two years, started back up again. I can sympathize with anyone trying to ditch the habit & wish you luck.

Actually I find the pip tobaco to be less harsh, smooth, and a vastly different in general...so much so I by it exclusively now.

I have been smoking since I was about 10 years old.
I am 50 now.

It has not troubled me in the least.
Aside from the wheezing when I lay down
to go to sleep.

It's a small price to pay.

Someday I might get CANCER.
So what?

I have never taken opiates and I have never taken extacy.
When I get cancer I want massive injections of morphine
and X until I run out of steam.
And nitrous oxide.

Why not?

Back around 1965, when the gang started trying them out, I figured if anyone would get busted for underage smoking....it would be me, so I never tried them out. I still have never tried a ciggie, cigar, or pipe tobacco.
Pot, sure, but it's been almost a year since my last puff (no...not trying to quit, just haven't come across any!)

I would say I've never taken opiates, but apparently the painkiller they administered by injection in the hospital was one.
