Finyank is exaggerating.

Nice. I'll never understand why people even enjoy cigarettes (I smoked for like 2 months when I was 16). Aside from they go really well w coffee, I got nothing.

I never really thought that. And I was a big fan of alcohol for a long time.

I don't know seems to be when most people smoke is when they are drinking. I've always enjoyed it myself as well. That and smoking with a hangover for some weird reason haha.

Always went the more herbal route there.

I started when I was 14, so it was about 24 years at 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day.

I started because it gave me a buzz. By the time I didn't get a buzz anymore, I was hooked.

For me, (and I suspect a lot of other people) it became intertwined with everything I did. After eating, driving, conversation, etc all become key smoking moments.

Yeah. I had never tried weed until i was well in my 20's. Even then I've probably smoked it less than a dozen times and not since New Years Eve 2001. Don't drink either.

That's pretty crazy. So many better ways to get a buzz than cigs, imo. Less harmful too.

Yeah, I should have been more rational at 14 while looking for a buzz. lol.

I was addicted. Nicotine has seriously big claws.

congrats man, I've never smoked cigs really. I was coming off a super bad tab trip once and my friends made me take a drag to try and calm the f**k down, obviously it didn't do much for me. Everyone in my family have been religious smokers, its always been motivation for me to not smoke. But I can definitely say I understand quite a bit how hard it is to quit. Props.

I'm glad for all you guys who quit. That's a terrible way to waste your money and you life.

Good job man, I smoke one every now and then when I have a couple, everyone in my family has become addicted to them at some point in time which is why I try and stay away. Now only if I can stop doing the dip. I've been doing it for about 4 months now.

Dip is the most disgusting **** there is. I'd sooner think of doing meth than chew.

It really is disgusting, but I associate it from when I play baseball. I always dip when I play softball as well, I'm starting to ease up on it though, but it's hard since everyone around my college campus does it.

Just think of all the ass you'll get when your teeth fall out :lol: I mean shouldn't that be enough?

Well, it's only been 4 months, and I do it in moderation, I usually will do it for a week straight, but then stop for 1-2 weeks. I've run out of money anyways, So I'm done for a while, lol.

Gratz Sick and Fin D. I quit smoking myself about 3 months ago and thoroughly enjoying no longer smoking. I had actually started smoking again around 2010 after at that time being quit for over 5 years. Its amazing, once your a smoker your always a smoker and have to keep your guard up to stay quit. Stay strong guys and gratz on 1yr anniversary.

Everyone still not smoking?

Yuppers.

Just got a new car too (well, new to me anyway) and its never been smoked in. First time that's ever been important to me. My wife and I were laughing about how we're not going to have any of the tell tale burn marks on the front part of the door around the window, like every smoker has.

Did you break the new car in?
