My wife's successfully given it up twice since I've known her.  Unfortunately got started again in February.

Probably the number one way us non smokers get started not smoking. LOL

Which makes me curious how many smokers had a bad first encounter but still took up smoking anyway...

Disgusting, silly, pointless, poisonous, expensive, smelly and polluting habit. Why do almost all smokers feel they are free to litter everywhere, with their discarded toxic butts? Angry

on a daily basis, 7-10 on average, 2-3 L's on average, so that's a lot of smoke.

i tried quitting a couple of times, the best was going a week and a half summer 07, but havent officially quit yet. been looking into it recently, it's especially hurting my wallet!

I'm not a smoker, but I'm an on-and-off user of snus, the proud Swedish tobacco product. A lot better than cigarettes when it comes to health, but bad nonetheless. Quitting slowly, but steady.

By the way, does anyone notice - cigarettes become worse and worse?
I remember back then, in the 90s, cigarettes of different manufacturers (Winston, Marlboro, L&M, Kent and others) had different tastes. Now all of them are almost similar, and all are worse than 10 - 15 years ago.
Am I wrong?

I like rolling tobacco much more than cigarettes. I think the taste is far superior!
 
I don't smoke much, though. Just every once in a while, sometimes 2-3 a day, sometimes none in a week. I do smoke cigars sometimes, but I never inhale them.
 
 


You're not supposed to aren't you? It hurts otherwise

And yes, roling tobacco is far superois in every way. Economically as well as taste. I'm a Golden Virginia fan myself

Smoked for 25 years, then after a particularly bad case of pneumonia which had me on my back for three weeks doctor hinted I might want to quit.  Which I did, though I still enjoy a jawful of Copenhagen or a fine cigar now and then.   Nectar of the gods, that nicotine.
