I smoked for 10 years, quit 5 years ago. I still think about them. I smoke in quite a few of my dreams. I almost want to smoke one just to show myself how terrible they would be.

Get's better after 6 months I quit Feb 8 2013 and don't miss the habit.

It was making me sick and had whooping cough couldn't stop coughing it sucked bad. I may have saved my lungs now.

Am so glad I quit smoking don't want it don't need it.

I don't like being around it when my boss comes around with his grape cigars I can smell him five feet away. I don't want be like that. No matter what smoking stinks.

I use to like the smell of a good cigar or pipe I'm just afraid to try it again or I'd be back smoking worse.

Don't try it dude. Even it you didn't like it, it would trigger that craving and you could end up smoking more than before in matter of weeks days. That's my fear of trying one again.

183 days since my last dip of Cope long-cut after 35+ years. Most of the time I don't miss it but every so often damnnnnnnnnnnnn.

I'm about 3 weeks in on quitting this time around. I'd gotten where I could take it or leave it. I'd usually start dipping during the summer again when I'm doing lots of home projects and yard work. I'd then quit when the school year started back up, and I spent my days at the office where I couldn't dip. This year, though, I managed to get full on hooked again, going through a can a week (which is pretty heavy for me).

Decided to quit while on Spring Break, and I haven't had one since. I'll probably go back to bumming dips whenever I'm around my friends that dip and occasionally buying a can when camping or on fishing trips, but I won't let myself get hooked back into regular dipping again. It's really not that enjoyable whenever it's a regular habit. Way more fun when it's for special occasions and socializing with buddies who also dip.

Pipes still smell good to me. But I'm very much over smelling like an ashtray.

**** smoking!

Today makes 6 months. I rarely get cravings at all and pass instantly. The difference is crazy. The smell of people smoking has become gross to me. Any one else still going strong?

Yes sir! I've had a couple smokes when out with friends, but other than that, I've been doing well! Glad to hear you're also doing well! :thumb:

Keep up the good work men!

I love grape swisher sweets

My year anniversary no smoking was a happy feeling, but also a bit of a downer as well. As I referenced earlier I got a bunch if massages to make my back feel better and then kinda "fell into" quitting after 18 years.

On one hand I have made great strides. I don't get cravings to smoke anymore at all, and I have found a whole new part of myself with a running routine and regimen I adopted. Last year on june 26th I ran a 12 minute mile and felt like I was going to die, and instead, lately I have been running 1.5-3 mile stretches @ 6:45 ish-7:15ish pace. All of this Absolutely makes me feel great...

Except that my back is still all ****ed up :(. It went out on me again just like last year. I had been looking forward to sprinting a mile in 6:00 flat on thurs, but that went down the tubes. My back has now been out for almost 2 weeks and I'm still spending over 2 hrs a day with heat pads and ice packs etc etc.

Life is funny, what can ya do I guess?

Make all the changes you want but some things will always be there lol. Either way I'm still damn glad I quit smoking, that shit is for the birds

I don't even think about it until I smell it on someone else or I see threads like this

**** cigarettes

1 year and 5 months now. 0 cigarettes.

I admit though, I do still break out my old corn cob pipe and partake some Cavendish when out camping, canoeing and such.

If I'm out in the woods and I see a person with a corn cob pipe, I run.


You really should go Meerschaum. Everyone is intrigued by the person who smokes a Meerschaum.
