Wanna fight?

Opportunity Knocks
If you're mean enough
Boned Jello

I last quit smoking eleven years ago, and have yet to regress.  At 3 packs-day I spent a hell of a lot of time looking for matches, looking for cigarettes, going out to buy cigarettes, etc.  The hardest part for me,  then, was ending the ritual; finding things to do with my hands and the extra time.  So, even though I still occasionally yearn for a smoke, this would prolly lead me back to the real thing.  No thanks.  However, the thought of provoking asshat anti-smoker Nazis with this deal is compelling.  If I wanted to provoke. I don't.  But, if I did.

 I had this site linked,  then discovered you can't get out of it.  Selecting "Close all Tabs:still  leaves this one standing.  I had to shut down Firefox with Task Manager.

I haven't smoked a cigarette since 3 December. I am however still a junkie and use an "e-cig" or E-Ni (electronic nicotine inhaler) somewhat like what is pictured here, but much better quality (my opinion). It's not "Just like a real cigarette" and doesn't taste like one either. It's like smoking a pen. They're a pain in the ass as you're always fiddling with them to drip more oil/juice (nicotine laced propylene glycol solution) into them and you have to bring extra batteries everywhere with you. They're not cheap (100+ bucks to buy a quality start kit), and by the time you fiddle-f*ck around to finding the one you think works the best and keep buying more stuff the fill them, they're every bit expensive as smoking. For me, the money isn't the problem and as long as I'm not smoking real cigarettes, I don't care. My lungs haven't been this clear since I was 14 years old (42 now) and dumb as f*ing hell for lighting my first cig. This "Quit" I told myself that I wouldn't care how I got my nicotine fix, as long as it wasn't from tobacco. Nicotine isn't killing me, it's all the other sh*t that comes from tobacco. Right now, I've lost all desire to smoke a real cigarette, so life's good and I don't give a sh*t about smoking this electric pen as long as they're still legal (the FDA is doing everything it can to get them outlawed). If you've quit smoking for a period of time and you're out of the habit of going for a "smoke", I'd definitely recommend NOT getting something like this. Be happy you're not inhaling anything but air. If any of you are still smoking real cigarettes and want to give this a try, research "ecig reviews" on youtube and watch some of the zillions of videos of people giving their opinions on different models. I also recommend getting on the patch or lozenges for a few days or a week before starting the ecigs, that way you'll have the "It's better than nothing" feeling of puffing on one of these pen-like things, because it's not the same "Feel" as really smoking.

I quit smoking cold turkey six weeks ago.
First three days were the toughest.
Best thing I've ever done.

After 30yrs at a pack a day, I'm one month smoke free here, boss. I gave up buying smokes here in NYS back in 2007 when the price went up to $6 a pack. I then started traveling 30 mi into PA every three weeks to pick up 2 cartons of USA Gold Light 100s at $50 a pop. Last month I went on the patches and after a week I forgot to put a new one on one morning and didn't realize it for 12 hours. Damned things didn't work so I toughed it out for another week without the patches and now I'm free. Momma hid my cigars which made it a little easier getting over the habit. Then I heard that NYS was jacking up the cig tax another couple of buck and a pack of Marlboros are now $10 locally... so I smiled at myself :)

Congrats to all you quitters; you gotta get past that three year mark. I did, nineteen years ago.

My wife had nagged me for years to quit. I quit. She divorced me. Sometimes, I still want a cigarette...

July 6th, 1990. After smoking 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day for 18 years, the only time I had ever tried to quit. Did it cold turkey and it was tough.

From 1964 to 2000, about a pack-a-day. Then the surgery that stopped me from going outside for a cig.
The only thing good that came from having 12" or so of colon excised.
When I realized that I had 'quit', I vowed to never have another until that day they said "you have xx months to live"...

I was wise enough to never even start. I win.
