    Well, do you really want my opinion.. I won't preach, but even after last year. I won't ever stop doing what I enjoy doing. I learned that I MUST do it in moderation. In this day and age, everything is bad for you, soooooooooo.......

    Talking I started smoking

    30 years ago. About 1.5 years ago I moved from Houston to Bullhead City. When I left Texas I had 6 cigarettes. I said to myself "Self lets quit when we finish these 6 cigarettes" I finished those 6 and havent had another. But realize Tom and Dub just aren't as good, powerful or good looking as I am and they may not have my platinum will to be able to quit. (notether people may have iron wills but that metal is just not valuable enough to descride me)

    The way to accomplish this is communicate on line where no one knows who you are or what you look like.

    Who cares, they are grown ups, if they want to kill themselves, that is their business, same way I feel about helmets on a motorcycle.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I've been smoking since I was 17...

    And I've actually just quit cold turkey exactly:

    2 Months
    20 Day
    14 Hours
    5 min

    Saved $489
    Didnt smoke about 1631 Cigarettes
    and gained 4 days 12 hours and 44 minutes of life back...

    LoL, according to my smokers statistics on my G1...

    Last time i quit i managed about 3 months. but I went from a pack every 3-4 days to a pack and then some every day... And I tell you, I felt the impact from it. So a year later... I'm hoping I'm done for good and nothing triggers an event for me to have to pick it back up...

    But as everything else in the world... To each there own.

    And if you two do decide to quit... The most of Luck to you!!!!

    Congrats, I quit 7 years ago, I smoked about a pack a day of menthol lights, and a can of Skoal every other day or so. I quit cold turkey as well...still going strong, no smoking or dipping.

    Woo Hoo. Weekend officially begins now. Time to break out the Copenhagen & go play in traffic. I should be home in 2 hours.

    We'll pick up again here on Monday. Have a great weekend.

    x3.

    Ldub--- If you quit smokin', just think about all of the money you'd save??? Perhaps then you could buy those new "CenterLine" wheels you really want (although I think your current existing wheels already rock).

    Tom4Bren--- Hmmm, less spittin' = less VX washin'.

    Hell; yeah, I say quit those nasty habits!!!

    "Unfortunately for me, like Twain, Dub, Tom and millions of others, it's the starting again that's the problem"

    It's almost scary how much it becomes a part of your life. It's un-natural for me to sit behind the wheel without a dip of Cope.

    What I wasn't really anticipating was the compulsion while working on the car. Out in the 90 degree 112% humidity yesterday trying to track down electrical gremlins on a 3000GT, sweat was literally dripping off me & I started breaking stuff & doing everything wrong. I realized that it was withdrawal symptoms. After a nice dose of nicotine, everything logically pointed to the MFI Relay.

    I'm not justifying the addiction - I'm actually advocating the need to quit. I'd love to at least cut back to the point where I want one rather than need one.
