Quitting Smoking

I had a GF for a short time while at PSU who was an Art major and it wasn't clove cigs she was into. *wink wink nudge nudge*And I was an Art Major so you're lucky they weren't Clove Cigs.
I was a disciple of Joe Camel for many years. Quit cold turkey almost three years ago. I don't even think about cigarettes anymore.
We might have dated the same girl friend. Was she from New York?

Yeah, that was my brand when I was stupid enough to smoke.
Mostly Marlboros. But also on occasion Camels, Pall Malls and whatever was available. In the 70's I was on a fire crew in Alaska during college. We were given surplus C-rations from the late 60s or early 70s when we were in the bush for a period of time. Each meal contained 4 cigs which could be anything. Marlboros, Pall Malls, Lucky's, Salems, Kools and whatever. I was the only smoker, so I got all the cigs. A little toasty as they were in storage for a number of years.
I am amazed at all the stories on this thread. Am I the only poster who never smoked? My parents both smoked as well as my two sisters. My brother would smoke, quit, smoke, quit etc. I disliked the second hand smoke so I never started. These stories show that I made the right choice.
I'm with you. Never had a relative smoke, and hated the smell, even as a kid. Not many people back in my area smoked when I was growing up, chewing tobacco and snuff were much more in use though
My summer jobs involved working with hand tools. So when I could not deal with a cig in hand, Copenhagen was the nicotine delivery system of choice. Most would spit the juice out the windows of our trucks. Boss was really ticked about this. so the solution was to spit in a cup. Problem with that was at times the cup would spill. Quite the mess.
Also remember before PSU banned smoking in classrooms, the smoked fill rooms at the forum.
I still like the smell of cig smoke from a distance.
Nicotine is a disgusting addiction.
Yeah, I had a sociology professor who would smoke in the Forum during classes.
never smoked tobacco products at least. Parents did, they were WWII generation. Most everyone I knew parents coming up in 60s and 70s smoked. That was the era of all the public service announcements about smoking and we hounded our parents to stop. I was in Pittsburgh from 1978 through 1989 and seemed everyone young, middle and old age all smoked. Like I said above the "no smoking" section of restaurants in Pittsburgh were tables without an ash tray, was disgusting going many places. And people seemed truly oblivious that their second hand smoke was streaming right in my face. Moved to California and was such a relief!! Restaurants, public places, hotels all no smoking inside. Have a number of relatives and in laws (from Pittsburgh) who expired from smoking related illnesses. When I was 3rd year med student in 1987 doctors, nurses and patients all smoked in the Pittsburgh hospitals. Worked with a surgeon who during long operations would step out smoke a cig and scrub back in. Reeking. and we would likely, be doing some type cancer or vascular operation, in part due to the patient smoking!!!!!
Yea, when I was a kid my dad smoked Lucky Strikes he said they gave them out with the rations in the Navy (WWII). He eventually switched to just a corn cob pipe and a mix of Prince Albert and Half/Half from a can.
My dad has about 30% lung capacity and is reliant on heavy oxygen 24 hours a day. He struggles to have clear thoughts and can barely walk across the room. He did smoke but there were other issues. Take care of yourself and do what you can to not F up your body.
Two of the best decisions in my life. Divorced my first wife and quit smoking. lol. Hang in there partner.
The biggest break I ever got in my life was when my first wife walked out on me.
If moms throws me out I’m forever and completely fuvcked (but #991.2T)
If moms leaves you and agrees to a 60% / 40% division of assets in her favor, can you afford a 991.2T?
