? for Smokers

[DENNIS WILLIS]

They cost so much beacuse some of the money goes for health care. My mother smoked and my wife and I took care of her and it ain't pretty you don't just die real fast, it is slow and hurts others . She was only 59 years old.My motherinlaw also died beacuse of them and before she died had her leg cut off, Dr. said it takes your blood vessels 3 hrs. to open back after smoking.

I still smoke and would love to quit but haven't been able to. Every time someone brings up the subject I remember the good ole days when I could buy a carton (the short camels) for 90 ¢ a carton. These were sea stores so I would stock up every time we left port. I buy cheapos in NC now for about 23 bucks a carton. I figure if I am going to kill my self with them I'll do it as cheap as possible.

I know it is a hard habit to quit, I think they put something in them to get you hooked.

Ya think Dennis, That was why the tobacco industry was sued a few years back. They was making them very addictive so it made it harder for someone to quit. EB

Supposedly the 4th most addictive substance known to man...

i quit cold turkey 10 years ago.......if you want quit you will..its all in your mind. the first 3 days are the toughest, chew on a drinking straw to keep your mouth and hand busy

[DENNIS WILLIS]

Great to hear fishingrod, I bet you feel a lot better, and have more money to fish instead of pay for the cancer sticks

I quit in 1983. Cold turkey from 2+ packs a day. Good Lord was with me. I threw the last one down, unlighted and never looked back. Never has bothered me. Being around smokers doesn't bother me. Yes I did like to smoke. But like I said, The Good Lord was with me then as he was when I quit drinking. Keep trying Bill.

The ones I usta smoke gave me the munchies.
