After 35 years of smoking, I just got kind of tired of it, and the rising cost (tax) helped make my decision.
My last cig was in late January 2003.
Since then, I figure I have saved about $1800 to $2400 per YEAR. Now, I frequently ‘treat’ myself to some gadget or a new computer, etc., and call it my reward from my no-longer-smoking savings.
Why would a Nexus-6 want to quit smoking. They only have a four year life span anyway.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh and the memories!
I will be smoke free 4 years on Sept. 25th. :)
Oh my goodness, just realized that this Thanksgiving- it will have been 10 years since I had a cigarette.
My smoking career lasted all of 6 seconds.
Cigarette free since 1988. Hallelujah!
My problem is that I have this great bottle of Glenlivet Scotch so I have to keep buying cigars to go with it.
I was true to my vow and haven't touched tobacco in any form since.
My wife who suggested that we stop, and then didn't is in her third week of quitting and really straining. Doctor told her that he wouldn't operate on her back if she didn't quit!
Surgery is tomorrow. Hooray!!!
Stay tuned.
After having two strokes last September I finally quit. My brain changed some stuff and smoking was one of them. I smoked for over 40 years. Recovering and rewiring the brain was lots harder.
I smoked Lucky Strike non-filters for over forty years.
When they became just too expensive I switched to off brand non-filters ordered over the internet from NY indian reservatiions.
When I got threatening letters from the sales tax dept. here in WA. state, I switched to buying locally from various tribes.
I had tried to quit when I was younger, but never really, really wanted to. Trieds hypnotiem, but had to keep going back and paying more. Didn’t wotk for more than three weeks.
Finally got tired of trying to quit and I quit quitting.
Finally, after 52 years, a group asked me to join them in trying Chantix.
I said I would only if they were hard-core serious because I hate failing and would not be screwing around.
After assurances, I got on the program and it was easier than falling off a log!
3 years and about 8 months now. No urge to smoke but still love the smell.
Over the ensuing first 18 months or so, I gained 40 lbs.
Got rid of that too, but that’s another story.
I am a smoker who doesn’t smoke - since May 27, 1994
Yes, I still want one, though not quite as badly as I did in 1994, and if I had one, I’d be right back where I was on May 26, 1994
and I haven’t written a good computer program since!
There was always something about the very fist drag. After that, I didn’t like them as much.
