22 and been smoking since 18. For about a year's stretch I was on a pack a day but am now down to 6-8 a day. On nights I go out drinking I probably smoke a full pack again.

been smoking about 16 years. been going through about 2 packs a day for some time. i can still run a 14:30 2 miler and beat a high percentage of those much younger than me. i also have a rather protrusive beer gut, but i guess that would be the topic of another thread.

2 packs of marlboro reds in a box thank you. think they were something like $1.30 a pack when i started, back in the day when you could get a 6 pack along with them with a $10 bill.

i really don't think about it until someone mentions it. then it gets kind of depressing.

here in my neck of the woods they sell the cigarettes that have some kind of band in them to cause them to go out if you don't take a puff every minute or two. supposed to keep people from burning themselves up. used to, i would set a cigarette in the ashtray and might touch it only once or twice. now, i gotta take a puff every 30 seconds to keep it from going out. i find myself taking some really hard puffs when i forget in order to get it going again. sometimes you'll be sitting there hitting it like a fucking joint. this has caused me to smoke much more of the cigarette than i used to.

3 packs a day and go thru an ounce in about 10 days. My days however start at 7am and usually end around 1-2am.
I should quit but im pretty sure its to late. Smoking has already killed me and i seriously dont expect to be around more than another year or so...

My mother(died of lung cancer at 54)) was a terrible smoker(4 packs per day), so I vowed at an early age to never touch a cigarrette, and haven't. It amazes me how strong the smoking addiction and denial that goes with it really is.

On a side note : Every Year I get a Full check-up ( from Top to Bottom )
But I Also get a Lung Function Test ( which I think Everyone should do )

A Lung Function Test is Not what your Family Doctor does when he checks Your Chest to see how your Breathing is.

A Lung function Test is done by a ENT Doctor.....and that Test will tell you if something is wrong and will Match Your Lungs to your Age. Lung Spand, etc...
See if there are spots, any problems, etc.....

I also can swim Under water the Length of a Standard size Pool ( 25yds )
without any problems.

i thought that was in all cigs now. i know here in ky the big name manufactures cigs have that. that was just another thing to convince me to finally quit for good, cause i know those big companies put all kinds of chemicals in the cigs, and not just the tobacco , the filters and paper too. There is no telling what kind of fire retardent chemical they have in the paper to make it want to go out if you don't keep puffing away.

The reason behind it, or at least what i heard or read around here, was all kinds of people fall asleep(pass out) while smoking and burn their homes down. I know here in Ky it has happened quite a bit, and it's usually some trailer or run down house, and it's some old grandmother on meds hooked to a oxygen tank that fell asleep and burned the home down and killed grandchildren, or it's some other parent on drugs or hooked on presribtion meds and burns their home down with the children in it, all because they were smoking and passed out.





I just quit for good, or so far, on my 36 B-day about 5 months ago.

I know nicotine is the worst additive thing i've ever had get a hold of me.
I've experimented with a lot of recreation drugs in my youth and none made me need it everyday like nicotine.

I remember years ago seing a program on nicotine and it's addiction , the show at the time said only heroin and crack ranked higher, but this was a while back before meth/crank and X and alot of the potent pain killer meds really caught on.

The thing about nicotine is where most drugs of some form either get you by a mental addiction or a physical addiction, but generally not both. Nicotine is rare in that it messes with you both mentally and physically.

way my brother expained it to me was there is some kind of band spaced out inside the cigarette that causes it to go out. i moved back here in late april from ga, where i had never heard of fsc. they were already on sale in ok when i got here, then it was sometime last month they started selling them here in ark.
