I still miss smoking. I quit in February 2001. I almost lit up again about a month ago. The only reason I didn’t was I figured my husband didn’t need the additional stress.

lol did the same thing about 3 years ago.. couldn’t quit without smokes in the house because I kept thinking, ‘is it my will, or is it deprivation that’s stopping me from smoking?’ and I’d always end up back into it. Finally did it with a pack of smokes available, because then I knew I stopped because I wanted to, not because there were just none available. Still got the pack somewhere too. Parliament 100′s, sadly.

Hey Gregory, if Obama-the-dumbass becomes president, you can move here and he will help you kick the food habit. Apparently it is offensive if we eat whenever we want.

Shit, the way these morons in congress are going on about ‘climate change’, they’ll ensure our economy tanks, energy and food prices soar even higher, so that they, the all-powerful benevolent them will hand out ration cards. They will legislate us chub chubs into oblivion.

Never did smoke. Took up eating instead. Not sure it was a better choice, but at least it’ll kill me slower.

Then again, my family genes are against me. So.

Comment from S. Weasel
Ummm……yeah. Thirteen, actually.
No sense rushing things, is there…?

You’re positively a Jane Austen novel!

I went stupid for many months after I quit cold turkey (the only way.) I had to learn a bit of programming because my husband quit one time & he couldn’t hang in there to fix a bit of software for me. However, despite all the talk that one will be as good as new, I’ve got news…emphysema does happen if one was a heavy smoker for a long time, even though I’ve been off smokes for about 20 years. Argh.

Dan and I are going to attempt to quit for our move to the Cape. Neither of us smoke a LOT, but we really should just stop it all ready. Sigh.

I am sure I am not nicotine addicted – I can go days without a cigarette with no physical cravings. It’s the damn SMOKING part that I like. Sigh.

I first started smoking when I was about 14. It wasn’t serious; I was a late developer and consequently too young-looking to buy them myself. Therefore I had to make do with a few a week, mostly at the weekend.
I think these were my first cigarettes. (The irony was lost on me and my friends.) But only one shop sold them where I lived and the guy who ran it also sold BB guns and he must’ve soon cottoned on that we were underage or something, because we started smoking B&Hs, Marlboro Reds, Marlbroro Lights, hell – even Silk Cut instead from newsagencies. Anything we could get our grubby paws on basically.
I started smoking daily when I went to sixth form college and stopped some time in my early twenties with no pharmaceutical aids, or counseling or hypnosis or pressure from anyone. I just did it one uneventful day (which is why I can’t even remember what year it was).
Mind you, I don’t know if it counts, because I grow N. tabacum and roll my own vicious little cigars. I don’t inhale them, but I suppose it’s still smoking.
