its been two years since my last cigarette.
Re: Pall Mall
And with the money you saved, you bought how many wheels?
well done keep i up! more money to spend on unicycling!
I smoked 1.5 packs a day from age 15 to about 24. Then on day I quit cold turkey and haven’t smoked since…now I’m 30.
When I look back on it I think of what a silly habit and a total waste of money it was.
Congrats.
March 10, 1990 is the day I smoked my *last cigarette. I made it my resolution to quite before 30, ran out of cigs three days prior. I too was partial to unfiltered.
*I took up the occasional cigar in 1994. I have had a few “social cigs” in the past few years, can count them on one hand, yuk. I’ll stick to the occasional cigar, yum.
Under the viscious influence of an 11-year-old drug addict foster brother, I smoked for two weeks at age 11 until Mom caught me. She wailed on my behind and that was the end of that.
Highest congrats Jagur (and others) on a smoke-free life!

So how long has it been since your last cigarette?

Congrats. My last was 2 years 13 days ago. I quit for 10 years once, from about 1984-1994, before that. Keep it up, dude.
Luckily I got into drugs before cigarettes, so there was never any urge to just ‘smoke a cigarette’.
Had I not, I’m sure I’d be smoking them now, as I was quite impressionable in high school.
I suppose that would be 31 years.

Congratulations!

Congrats to everyone who has quit! The idea of sucking on a burning stick never appealed to me, but I’ve helped a few people quit, and it sure doesn’t look easy! I’m impressed with anyone with that much willpower.
Thanks.
But, I don’t consider myself a former smoker by any means. The two week stint was simply a little boy frightened of his new, wise-to-the-world foster brother and the smoking was an attempt to fit in. Said foster brother today is a continuing drug addict, alcoholic, and in prison. It’s a long story…

Waiting for the smoker Steve Howard to get in on this.
Congrats, jagur!
“Silly” is WAY too polite. It’s a stupid habit. Actually that is not quite right either. It’s an very stupid thing to start doing. Once started there is a very high probability of addiction. Once addicted, stopping is extremely difficult or impossible for most people.
Ignoring the cost of smoking, I think the stupidest (long term) thing I ever did was to start smoking. Including the cost of smoking, it’s even stupider. One of these days I’ll hopefully work up the courage to again try quitting.

i still lust over the cloudy fog of a sweet inhalation…tobacco is a potent addiction.
i will always be a smoker,i just havent had a cig in a long time…
Wow Sofa, you must have been in a progressive school district. At my junior high, the courses were only offered together. 
I envy UniBrier’s ability to be an occassional anything. My profile is truer addict. My track record, starting at age 15: 10 years on, 5 years off, 2 years on, 5 years off, 1 on, 2 off, 2 on, 1 off as of this past August 9th. In each case except starting the first time, what knocked me off the wagon was having a damn cigar at some wedding or funeral or golf game.
I believe this time I’m done for good, or at least until 3 separate medical professionals tell me I’m terminal, at which point I’m heading for the nearest bottle of Jack and pack of Camels.
What kind of drugs Sofa? There are heaps to choose from. I tried a few cigarettes when I was 12. I liked breathing out smoke like a dragon, and the prospect of learning to blow smoke rings which I saw some older peers doing, but I never liked the taste much. I discontinued, but tried smoking pot not too long afterwards. I much prefer the taste and the longer lasting effect of smoking herbs, but on the downside it isn’t legal, and is a waste of money. I still occasionally smoke but I don’t buy it often due to the amount I have been spending on Unicycle equipment. Nice work for those of you who have managed to quit. I’d much prefer to have a bunch of decent equipment than blow money on luxuries that will leave me with a cough and little else to show.
I smoke!
I’m also not alowed to give up, im on antidepressents and im not ment to be making any radical changes to my life. Im pritty sure the stress of giving up would put me over the edge. I would like to not smoke, realy its the most stupid thing ever! I don’t know why i started and i feel kind of stupid for it! DON’T START!
When i see young people smoking i usualy tell them how stupid they are being starting smoking (I wish someone had told me exactly how dumb it was those many years ago).
Well I hope to get better soon so i can stop smoking, its realy dragging me down (Bad pun but someone had to say it).
