Tobacco Road

[The Ruptured Duck]

I smoked once on the 4th of july when I scratched my head with a lit punk .  Wasn't satisfying .

Quit 2 years ago when I realized my "pack a day" was closer to 2 packs a day.

A carton (1 week supply) is now $50 so I'm saving $215 a month, plus my health insurance premiums went down and my apartment doesn't stink.

Good evening all...

You have to want to quit smoking if you are going to stop smoking and to me that is all there is to it.

Like I said in the above post I will take out a pipe or buy a cigar but only on a special occasion.

I started the habit when I was 16...to many drunken party nights in high school since there was nothing better to do in this town.

I started smoking when I was 16, then started a pack-a-day habit after I got out of high school. Working in a garden center/nursery didn't help, as being outside all day and not dealing with customers unless on a delivery really meant that you could light up whenever you please and no one would mind. I managed to put them down cold turkey for the month prior to me shipping to navy boot camp, but after the news came down that I couldn't go just yet, I started back up again, a pack and a half if not more a day. I'm down again to a little less than a pack a day, as I got a cubicle job for the time being and can only go out twice a day for a smoke. However when I get home, I light up just about whenever I get the inkling. Also, I just can't resist a good, after-dinner smoke.

I still look at it as the single worst decision I've made in my short life. Hopefully I can cut it out again before I get to boot camp once again (July 27). Until then, it's just that same monkey on my back...

Regarding the prices, I feel kinda silly calling to mind when it was "only" $5 a pack. I just got in from work and picked up a pack of Parliaments at $10.45


At least a pack of matches are still free...

Never have, never will.

Holy crap! And I thought $5 a pack was bad. Parliaments are usually cheaper than all the rest around here too.

I've contemplated quitting, but I'm not really ready yet. For one I still live with my Dad who is a heavy smoker and despite being a very intelligent person he believes that smoking isn't harmful. :-? Anyway I know how I am and I already know that being around cigarette smoke all the time will just make it harder for me to quit. I only moved back in here so that I could go to school full time, and now that I've graduated I'm looking for a real job. Once I get that and move into my own place I'll think about quitting again.
