I’m for “smoker’s rights” but I’m really glad I stopped a year ago. I smoked AND chewed.
If you want to stop, you CAN do it. After awhile you don’t even think about it, and cigarette smoke starts to stink...
It’s a liberating feeling!
Woo hoo!
I’m bragging!

May 32rd of this year will mark my fifth year without smoking. But the smell of others burning tobacco still is enjoyable to me. I really like when someone lights up a cig nearby and...

Wait. There’s someone knocking on my door. I’ll go and see———

OH! They crashed through!
They’re asking what I just typed about enjoying something!

Oh, CARP! Now I’ve done it.
Off to the Death Camp of Intolerance for me.

I majored in Entomology (study of insects) in college. When I was collecting live specimens, I carried a small jelly jar and would blow cigarette smoke into it after a capture. Most died in about a minute. Haven’t smoked in 30 years, but would love one right now!

Go right ahead and brag! I liked that you said "After awhile you don't even think about it..." Also, "It's a liberating feeling!"

You are so right. I broke the habit (or thought I did) about four years ago and enjoyed the freedom---didn't miss the smokes. Sadly, because of physical problems and frustration, I caved in to temptation.

If you have any words of encouragement for me, I'd love to hear them.
