Rambling pointless observations

[earthman]

When the other kids were starting the smoking thing i automatically had to go the other way and not follow the herd. Also i knew myself well enough to know that i have no self discipline and would never be able to stop if i started.
Besides, for the price of a 50 cent pack of suckerettes i could get two gallons of gas.

She thanked me and gave me a hug for bringing back a fond memory.

So what is a good brand of pipe tobacco? Just curious.

The one she was reminded her of her dads was just a Blenders Gold Cherry. Like $12 a bag at Walgreens. I have tons others I prefer though.

I smoked for 32 years and i quit a year ago 8/28/11 im still having a hard time with it because every one at work smokes. had to quit drinking beer because every time i drank one i wanted a smoke. I tried everything to quit because of heart problems and i finally used chantix and it worked great.

Quit drinking is EASY, or was for me. Drink a bottle of Everclear, wake up from a alcihol induced coma, and trust me, you will flinch at the smell of booze. Ahh to be young and dumb again [P

Another random pointless smoking fact, Jackie Kennedy chain smoked Salems but had an agreement with the press that they would never take a picture of her doing it. Not so with John F. I guess since I have seen pictures of him smoking.

Been smoking for 9 years. I used to work outside in construction, so it was a 2-3 pack a day habit
Now I'm down to about a pack a day. It really is a lifestyle. I would like to quit, but I'm not quite ready. It's habit for me to light up first thing in the morning, last thing at night, right after I eat, every time I get in the truck, always have one hangin out while in the garage. I'd be lost if I didn't have that to do with each "trigger"

I've always packed mine and I notice when they aren't packed. Seems the packed cig provides a more concentrated smoke. If I don't pack my Kools, I feel like I'm smoking Lights.

Refers to Gentlemen....inconceivable that a Lady would use tobacco.

Many years back I had a manager that tried to quit. He had tried several times before, but this time he swore it was the last time. Well, that only lasted about a week & a half. We started giving him a hard time about it (in a joking manner) and his response was "Hey, anyone can quit smoking, it takes a real man to fight cancer!"
I thought it was funny at the time - until I watched my mother & father both die from cancer caused by smoking. I don't wish that upon anyone. Having to watch someone die like that, or having to go through that.

I guess i'm a dirty, filthy, disgusting, nasty, stinking human being. I've also been known to pee in the pool! I guess i need to get some of that Zion literature.

You can bet that wasn't in Virginia or North Carolina.

I smoked off & on for years, finally quit five years ago. Had never heard of packing them until now....I'm not going to start again just to try it.

if you really want to make somebody mad. when you see them throw a butt down tell them i wish i could afford to throw quarters on the ground all the time.

I quit the year I turned 40. I used the patch and to this day it was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm 53 now and have not thought about smoking for several years. For you guy's trying to quit. Hang in there, it does get easier.

Smoked cigs for years until they got so high, I switched to the small cigars several years back. Go through about 2 packs of 20 a day, some days more, some less, just depends on how long the day is. Sitting in the truck, driving miles on miles, smoke, drink cold drinks {no coffee, never got a taste for it}, ride, ride, ride. Hard to quit that way. I tried a few times, cold turkey, nearly went crazy, tried the gums and patches and pills, no luck. Tried some of the nicotine inhalers, they just made me sick with a headache.

I try to be more respectful nowadays, when I was younger I didn't give a hoot if you liked it or not. I guess age changes all of us.

And as to the original question, I've never felt the need to pack a pack. I just smoke'm like they come outta the pack....

Hypnosis for you guys trying to quit. Try electronic cigs to quit or at least cut back. I feel for ya. I quit several years ago - so far, hardest thing I've ever done.
