Haven't had one in almost 2 yrs, smoked Newport.

Kicked a 1.5 pack a day habit. Plus they're like $7 a pack in NY. Could barely exercise without getting winded , smoking is no good for you.

Cigs are deadly. Most winning gamblers see the odds, and pass on them.

"Smokeless tobacco" is only slightly better. It causes a lot more tongue and esophageal cancer than smoking, which offsets the lower rates of lung cancer (compared to smokers, not healthy people).

Caffeine is the drug of choice for gamblers. 4 Cups a day of it will decrease the incidence of alzheimers, dementia and type II diabetes. The studies were so compelling, I replaced 4 diet-cokes a day with half a pot of java.

I chew lots of gum, it helped combat urge to smoke when going through the cravings for it, never had to wear a silly patch or crap like that.

Prefer the occasional cigarillo, but for a rare cigarette I stick with American Spirit. Will go months without either.

kind of a downer, but my aunt is in the hospital, suffocating because of lung cancer tonight. One of the worst things i have ever seen.

She probably wont make it through the night.
Worst part, she didnt smoke, her husband does.

My dad has mouth cancer. They had to remove part of his tongue and mouth. It came back 3 more times and they keep removing. He then needed chemo and lost 30 pounds in about 10 days. He was burnt to a crisp and looked awful. Now when he talks it is hard to understand him. He also cannot taste many foods and can only swallow soft stuff. He quit smoking about 10 years ago. nothing good will come out of smoking and you may enjoy it now but in a couple decades through the pain and suffering of yourself and your loved ones you will regret those puffs. Of course, you are also killing everyone around you, stink to high heaven, and are spending a fortune for a slow death.

Marlboro Menthol Lights. About 4-6 a day.

Drinking is a lot worse than smoking. Having bad genes is bad too.

Marlboro Light 72's most the time

Every now and then will switch it up with Marlboro 27's

Used to smoked Reds for a few months, then I valued being able to breathe at night, so stopped doing that

Quit May 9th 1997, after 20 years of smoking. Felt better within a month, IMO one of the top 10 best decisions Ive made in my life.

I would say the majority of us here look for VALUE in everything from gambling to purchasing a product. There is NO value in smoking. STOP

Marlboro / Parlamint Menthal Lights . .

1 - 3 a day on non drinking days

10+ on drinking days

Thinking about quitting, havent smoked one since the new year yet. Very easy to quit when Im not drinking. Seems impossible not to smoke when i am drinking ( few times a week). So we will see what happens.
