Started on them as a 15 year old farm/ranch hand. I’m now 81. I’ve probably quit and later started back a dozen or so times. They were calling me on a daily basis.
Then, somewhere around a year ago, I decided to not do them anymore. I’m still off and have had no withdrawal issues. No longer think about them and it doesn’t bother me being around a smoker.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley, Rancher Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP

Last pack I bought was $0.85. I never thought anyone would pay over a dollar.

I started them sometime in my early teens. Did it for years. Sometimes, at sea, with sea store cigarettes I would smoke a couple packs a day, but I was "on watch" from local sunset to local sunrise" and still have pull maintenance on my gear and keep up with the "intel library." Finally got off of them maybe 10 years ago, but I dip now. A can of dip usually lasts about 3 days. Whole lot cheaper. My Doctor, believe it or not, is in his 70's and says no problem (seriously) said his mom dipped until she died at 92. Matter of fact is I'm doing some Red Seal, long cut wintergreen, as I type this.

I prefer some Levi Garrett. i actually read it removes tarter build up on your teeth. There ya go.

Smoked off and on 5-6 years in/around college. I quit 26 years ago. I don't mind if you smoke as long as I'm upwind but I hate cigarette smoke with a passion. Won't go in a bar where it's allowed.

Good job Dave on the quitting. Make sure to get a chest x-ray every year during your annual check up. I didn't and had to pay the price with surgery.

Haven't smoked a cigarette since September 1st 1998 before daylight waiting on enough light to start blasting doves .Don't miss them and hate the smell of them now.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

There was a French woman who lived to be 122 named Jeanne Louise Calment. She was interviewed on her 118th birthday and was asked how she had lived for so long. She replied " Well, I gave up drinking and smoking last year. She passed away in 1997'.

If I was tasting it I was getting some.

Whoever said $5/pack Is way behind the curve. I’d walk a mile for a Camel, but I better have $9 when I get there.
