I know someone that went on that stuff and her husband found her freaked out in the MBR closet. She had to get off it.

Never smoked, but both parents did. Dad was a pack a day smoker, mom would get 2-3 days out of a pack. Dad started in 1942 when he went in the Army. Mom didn't smoke until she married dad in 1952. They both quit cold turkey in 1984, but the damage was already done and they ended up paying for it late in life. They both beat other forms of cancer, neither had lung cancer. But both suffered from respiratory problems and were on O2 24 hours a day during their last years.

Their DR explained to me that young healthy adults rarely use more than 1/2 their lung capacity. You can damage up to 1/2 the lungs and not see any decline when young. But as you age you naturally lose lung capacity. Combine that natural loss with the damage done by smoking when young and you'll struggle to breathe as you age. And it is worse for women since their lungs are smaller to begin with.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Smoke a pack a day.
Tear off about 1/3 rd inch of each one cause I used ta smoke Marlboro 72,s .

Lot of times I power drag 5 or 6 inhales and flick it away.

Probably smoke 12 to 15 actual king size a day


I drink one cup of coffee a day
Strong instant folgers 3 heaping teaspoons instant, heaping teaspoon creamer ,heaping teaspoon sugar ( old army habit from all over the planet)


Gave up drinking Oct 98.

Drank 2 beers with my FIL when my MIL died jan 08 at a dinner we had in her memory after the service.

You all think I'm a dick stone cold sober here on 24hr at times.
You all shoulda met me on a Friday or Saturday night with a 12 pack of Bud and half a bottle of mezcal in my gut.
I put the word funk into " functional weekend alcoholic".

Smoked for 35 years. Also chew and dip. Now all I use for the last 8 years is Swedish snus. Love it. Ingredients are listed because it is a food product over there. Roasted tobacco, nicotine, natural flavoring and salt. No gum or teeth problems. No spit. Many flavors. Many levels of nicotine from 8 grams to 24 grams. Believe me the 12 gram pouches will make your head pound. I use 2 flavors, 8 grams nicotine.

I quit a 35-year 2 pack a day habit cold turkey in my early 50's, 20-something years ago when I had my first heart attack- - - -had another one a year later. My wife is killing herself with cigarettes now, and can't (won't) quit. She struggles for every breath (emphysema) and absolutely refuses to give them up.

I smoked from age 17 - 23. About a pack a day. At 23 I got a rough case of bronchitis. I couldn't smoke for about 3 weeks. I finally was well enough to have a smoke. I never tasted anything that bad in my life. I never smoked another cigarette. I did take up a cigar once in a while for the next 20 years but I gave that up as well. That bronchitis was a gift for sure.

Thats no joke.


Now that I quit it takes two cups.




I started using tobacco pretty seriously around 9 or 10.

What ever I could get my hands on.



Quit a year and a half ago.....for the second time.

Started in 1970 while in Infantry OCS and quit in 1980. Chewed cigars till I retired in 96. I chew now, particularly when hunting or fishing.

Quit snuff and chew back in '01. Started around 14 years old. Was about 28 when I quit.

Figure I'll start back when I'm 75 (I'm 46 now). Then I should be too old for the cancer to kill me.

Course, by then tobacco will be illegal and you'll be able to buy heroin out of a vending machine........
