My plane.......but it's on purpose :lol:

Seriously, quit (know it's hard....I did it 6 years ago after smoking more years than you have been alive probably) As Ryan said in your other thread with the prices today it is a horrible drain on your disposable cash.

i've smoked on & off since i was kid. now 48, don't need to, just enjoy it. no jonesing, as i take wellbutrin which has the positive side affect to curb the urge to fire up. when i'm fishing, messing around in my office, yard work etc, i'll light up., & naturally when i have a cocktail in 1 hand guess what's in the other?? generally i go through a pack every 3 to 4 days

Most people figure that out after the first time, are you a slow learner ?

I never started, although I'm old enough to remember the TV commercials:

My dad smoked when he was a kid but he quit back around 1958. He just turned 81.

His father, my granddad, never quit; he died of emphysema at 64.

Very quick learner Matt....just in wrong place at the right instant most of the times. Worst was when a co-worker dropped a cutting torch down my glove and it got hung in there. Would have been pretty wild to have seen it on video with nearly a foot of flame blowing out the gauntlet while I tried to shed it...

I wouldn't smoke a cigarette to save my life (or anyone elses!).
My dad smoked 3 packs a day for 50 years and the coronary killed him so fast he still had that f*cking death stick in his mouth when I found him :twisted:
That was after 5 years of coughing and gagging.
Are you receiving the message :idea:

We had a house fire near us a few years back. When the VFD got there, the old man that owned the place was crawling out the door, dragging his oxygen bottle, still sucking on a cigarett, canula on and blasting away. He was pretty hacked when one volunteer doused him with the hose. The fire was due to smoking in bed. Some people just won't learn...
