Never picked up the nasty habit I never wanted to smoke, but I was born into a universe of smokers. My first breath may been from a doctor who put down his Marlboro to grab my head. Dad took me and mom home in the smoke filled car to a house full of ashtrays as furniture. When I got old-enough about 14-15 to even consider having a choice about it...well. Did I have a choice? I did, but the decision tree grows with the wind.

Jwalker can climb those decision tree's in his mind for work and for his own personal life the same way. None of us can climb those tree's like him. Some folks need a crew with trucks and buckets and chains and saws.

I quit today, 26 years ago. Smoked a pack and a half a day for 9 years and loved it . Just loved Jesus more and didn’t want any part of my life to not reflect His glory.

I quit dipping a year ago after dipping for 22 years. Wish I had quit before I fucked up my teeth. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about wanting a dip but the shit smells awful to me now
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I have a $50 a week nicotine gum habit. Walmart brand, 2mg, fruit flavored. More hooked on that than any dip or cigarette.
Read the directions on it man, it says to mix real gum in and wean yourself off. I did it but I did exactly like the directions says

I quit chewing after watching a good friend go through gum cancer. They had to give him radiation treatments. His tongue and throat swelled up and he couldn't eat so they inserted a feeding tube into his stomach and he was on a liquid diet for eight weeks. He lost about 50 lbs. The radiation cooked his vocal cords and when he finally could talk he sounded like Mickey Mouse. That lasted for months. He finally got over it all but it definitely was difficult for him and his family. Ref the cigarettes. JWalker is right. You just have to be more stubborn. I have mine down to one a day usually, sometimes I'll skip a few days, sometimes when I'm camping or in the woods all day might have two. Its still smoking, I know, but at my age its not like its going to cut short my long and promising life anyway. All of this correct and actually describes it mildly. You need 6 to 8 containers of formula into your feeding tube daily which is a task not counting the medication that goes into it. You get it all accomplished and get up to walk to the bathroom and try to clear your throat from the flem built up in it and puke everything back up and it’s time to start again. That will give you an incentive to give snuff up or the fact your saliva glands no longer work because of damage from radiation. Not mention the chemo side effects

Vaping is as bad if not worse than smoking A respiratory therapist told me a few years ago it makes "popcorn lungs" and he'll never run out of work thanks to vaping.
