I don't smoke, never have. But I do chew smokeless tobacco, snuff, dip, whatever you call it where you are. I think I've posted in this thread a long time ago already. But about the "kicking the habit" since chewing snuff you go through the same thing, I wanted to post a website for the others who do the smokeless thing.

Pretty good read there. Lots of stories, not horror stories of cancer and stuff, but stories from the folks who are or have quit. I spent some time a few months back reading everything, and actually got in my mind to quit. Of course, then I quit reading it, thus haven't quit. I have to start reading the stories again, it really puts your mind into the wanting to quit state. In every person's story, they lay out my life exactly. What do you do when you dip/chew. Wash the car, play on the computer, watch a movie, work, garden, blah blah blah. "When I got married, I promised my bride I would quit. When we had our first born, I promised to quit for her. When the 2nd was born, I promised to quit. She starts kindergarten, I'll quit, they are graduating, as a gift I'll quit." Yadda yadda. It all rings so true. I've done all of those "I'll quit" things. And it rings true for everyone else at that site.
Hope that helps someone out there in our little sim community who does the smokeless thing.
What get me is, there have been many folks at work who have quit either smoking or chewing. They quit for a long time, year, 2 years.... Then I see them start back up again. Simply amazing how much of a hold this tobacco stuff has on the population of the world.
Good luck to everyone. Hope to see ya all kick the habit. If you are young and reading this and it's not too late, don't ever ever start either of these filthy disgusting habits. It's hard to believe we do this, even for ourselves to think about it, but yet as I type this, I have a pepsi can sitting within reach. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!
