Great point- My taste buds are a hell of a lot more sensitive now. I don't think I could possibly judge if I still smoked.

Best of luck, GBob. You can do it if I could. It took many tries, but I finally did and am glad for that.

You can try to do what they did in "Cracking Up" . Everytime you light up a cigarette, Dick Butkus would show up and punch you in the face.

Yeah... I quit about 3 years ago after smoking for 15 years. It was not easy, but I did it using one of the "quit smoking" pills. It wasn't Chantix, but it was along those lines. My doctor told me to start taking one pill a day for two weeks before my quit date - then start taking two a day. I didn't even make it through my two weeks and I had quit smoking. Granted, that shit makes you not want to drink a whole lot for a few weeks and you feel like you're on Ritalin - but I quit and now I can taste everything and smell again.

By the way... tell your neighbor that if he asks you more than once, you're gonna kick him in the :nutters: !! That was one thing I had to tell all of my friends, "Look... I'm trying to quit, I don't care if you still want to smoke, but don't offer me one or let me have one."

Cheers brotha... and good luck, again!

I quit smoking a very long time ago... in my teens. Even then I was smoking almost 2 packs of Camels a day. Quit cold turkey. Still to this day, almost 20 years later I still crave a smoke on occasion, especially when I'm going to tie one on. I used to drink and chain smoke in my late teens. Even writing this brings on the cravings.

Good luck gbob.

actually probably a good suggestion from bleachcola :D Lifting produces lots of good drugs naturally in the brain, kinda what you are doing by smoking.



Oh and I quit smoking a long time ago, but I was chewing at the same time. Chewed for a few years longer and then decided to quit cold turkey.
Cheers!

They say nicotine is more addictive than heroin. I don't know about cigarettes, but I can have one cigar a week, no problem. Wish I could say the same thing about bacon cheeseburgers...
