Did you quit smoking?

[Diesel]

I quit 5/23/99 after being a heavy smoker (2+ pack/day) for 8 years.

After several failed attempts, the key for me was to learn to drink a beer or 5 without having a smoke.
Became a mild alcoholic that summer but it worked.

BIL? Brother in law?

I guess I got lucky that the early side effects were wet drums an I didn't have the bad stuff for months.

  Wet drums are not good, they can ruin the gig for the whole band!   :rock:

  I have smoked about 10-12 cigarettes in my life, beginning at age 19 and ending at about age 33.
   I think of myself as a vicarious smoker.  I'm intrigued by the rituals and the posturing, and I liked
   some of the physical effects.  I've even had moments of tasting smoke and feeling as if I'd like a
   cigarette, *years* after my last one.  But I'll never have the habit, because I know better, and
   because I congest too easily as it is.  If I smoked I'd be sick all the time!

Nobody likes a fucking quitter.

I never got addicted. I think some people have a tobacco gene and some don't.

 

I smoked some in high school, but I quit because tobacco doesn't get you stoned. 

It was easy, I just quit smoking and didn't have any cravings.

I guess I don't have the tobacco gene.  I tried to start smoking 3 times and never finished a pack.  Oddly enough, the only time I craved cigarettes was when I was on bedrest being pregnant with the PR.  Probably boredom.

My dad smoked (loved it when he substituted a pipe for cigarettes) from his teens.  My sister smokes.  Mom took up occasional smoking in her late 40's.

I certainly did. when I turned 18 I dunno what it was but I just bought a pack of cigs, then got hooked on tabacco for a few years after that. My memory isn't that great but I believe I smoked for 3 maybe 4 years max and the way I quit was I lost my job. I couldn't afford to buy smokes anymore so that was a prime moment for me right there. I'm now almost 33 and wow, I like breathing. Its like any addiction really. Now that I look back it I'm glad I quit

Now I only smoke pole.  Firm, black, erect pole
