That is true, but hand to God I swear that even after 26 years I still want another cigarette and loved those little killers. BUT BUT BUT... I made a promise because of some trickery from my bride that I would quit, and I will never break that promise.

I did it just for me. When I started driving truck.

Even the old man quit for like his last 10 years.

I caught a case of the metal fume fever once back in ‘99 or so cutting holes in galvanized decking for pipe chases with a torch. It felt like the flu.

Galvanized poisoning is no joke. That’s bad stuff.

I LOVED smoking too.

LOVED it.

But I love breathing too.

That did put more of a hurt on me than that case of covid from last year.

A very good friend from the insane daze is gone. They told him to stop back then.

I give him all the credit in the world he said it's life, his way.

He went about 10 years ago ripe old age of 48.

How heavy a smoker was he? That does have a bearing on things.

2 packs usually lasts me about 10 days.

I'll say 3/4 pack maybe. Depends what he was doing.

Sometimes people would be jonesing and you'd give away nar half a pack.

Be 18 years for me in June. Cold turkey. Could have reached out and lit one up as easy as I'm typing this for 7 years.

I quit in 1998. But to this day, sometimes someone will light one up and I'll catch that first drift of smoke going by by nose and I find myself reaching for my shirt pocket. Good thing the only thing there is my phone.

Funyun’s are addictive too

The way I quit smoking was to identify the triggers that would cause me to light up. One of my triggers was having that first sip of coffee in the morning with lots of cream and sugar. So I would drink black coffee in the morning and whenever I wanted a cigarette during the day I would instead drink a cup of black coffee. Now at first, I was drinking about 15-18 cups of coffee a day but after a few months pulled back to about 8 to 10 cups. I'm about 6 cups a day now.
