Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many smokers or ex smokers on here

This will make a good first post for me as its something Im proud of.

Not sure how long since I actually smoked, but today is 576 days since I vaped. I used vaping to quit the hanit, but truthfully I found myself more addicted to nicotine that way then cigs..

I finally called it quits as I was struggling to make it thru a 3-4hr sit in a stand without my vape device... when it started taking over hunting, it was time for it to go.

I couldnt drink beer or coffee for a bit while I was “quitting” but neither trigger it now. I rarely get the urge, but when I do I just giggle about it, reminding myself thats why I quit... and everytime I buy a gun I say Im allowed as its money I saved from that habit, though I dont track it ha!

Quit a 2 pack a day habit in August 1977 and never had another puff. Did chew and dip since I was a youngster and finally quit both in the late 1980's. It was more difficult to stop dipping than smoking.

Smoked alot in the navy--really cheap price for sea cigs aboard ship---wife got me to quit (cold turkey) with her the first time but I told her if she started again,I'd start too and I wouldn't quit again.Of course she started (caught her sneakin at her moms house) so I started as well----and then she gets on the band wagon to stop again.I kept going for about 6 months---in front of her---just to rub it in and then went cold turkey again--- been a good boy for 20 years now

Never smoked cigarettes.

I started smoking in the army. For the most part I limited myself to 10/day and quit cold turkey 7 years ago. My last physical my p02 was 98%. The doc says it is never too late to quit.

Hanco: As the son of a mother and father who were dedicated smokers I have never touched one of the damned things!
Father started smoking at age six (this was not unusual back in rural America in the 1920's) and continued to smoke heavily until he quit 10 years before his death, at age 86 - lost half a lung late in life!
Mother smoked from age 20 to age 55 then quit cold turkey - damage done though. She had to have open heart surgery at age 77 to remove and replace the "smokers valve" in her heart.
She lived another 16 years with the artificial heart valve.
Only thing the liberal twit Yul Brenner ever got right - "don't smoke"! "Just don't smoke"!
This from his T.V. commercial just before he died of lung cancer.
I would rather spend my money on guns and bullets than cigarettes and Doctor bills!
I think ALL tobacco fields should be turned into apple orchards!

Smoked on and off for a number of years, never heavy...Gave them up about 17 years ago during lent and never looked back. I actually like the smell of a good cigar but do not indulge.

I love smoking and i honestly think i am never gonna stop smoking, But i have a very healthy system that works for me, i go without smoking for days and weeks. i smoke whenever i feel down and stressed. i roll my own stuff and smoke that jay. i find it really healthy for my mind. it help me relax and eat better.
