I quit cold turkey about 4 months ago. I have dreams about smoking a cigarette but haven't fell off the wagon yet. I still drink though.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

That was the craziest shit when I quit. I wouldn't have urges in the daytime but I'd always dream about smoking and how good it was //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I went cold turkey 12 years ago. 2 months in I started drinking again just to test myself. But I've always had good composure while drunk.

Freaking dream is so realistic its not even funny, I even feel guilty afterwards.

Tabacco is a form of overpopulation control. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I can care less being I don't smoke.

Will say, I added it up one day as both my parents smoke with prices at the time on cigs at 3 dollars and they go through some ciggs! Mom is pack and a half, dad 1 pack. so 2 and a half packs a day. So that is roughly 52 dollars a week in ciggs. x that by 4 or 5, depending on month and that is 200 plus a month or 250 plus. And to think they cut back drastically. I remember when they were paying over 300 a month, which is more than my brand new car at the time, making monthly payments. 310 a month! So they went from at smoking their most per year at 2000 dollars a yer at 250 a month.

I don't know about you, but I can find something else to do with 2g's.............. like blow it on audioz, lol!

Did you know that insanely loud car audio can cause deafness. Something to think about before you start toding on others liberties.

My hearing loss doesn't effect many besides me. Someones death can effect quite a few peoples lives one way or another.

I quit after i watched my gfs father die within the 6 months i knew him, was diagnosed with lung cancer and within 6 months he was dead, we watched him wither away. Disgusting way to die, but i dont agree with banning everything that people dont agree with, personal choice was what this country was founded on, regardless of the situation its up to the individual to make the choice.

What i dont understand, is why nobody wants a "healthier" cigerette made, everyone just talks about outlawing them? Why is that always everyones answer?

BS, the socialized healthcare that most people who advocate the same type of control you advocate are statistically for, will have to pay for your (our) dirty little car audio habit. Not to mention the noise pollution. How about if some brilliant minds like yours got together and made some laws that make sense to them.

Like:

1. You can no longer modify the OEM sound system in your car, or if you do, we will heavily tax it.

2. Same as above for your car's drivetrain (I think Cali has this).

When you start letting the government make rules that affect your liberty, you have no control over where it will stop. There's not going to be some fail safe that says, wait a minute, Eugenics says that social trend is okay.

Facts: Read them its worth your time.
Cigarette smoking is the #1 cause of cancer death in MEN.

1 out of every 5 deaths is caused by tobacco.

It is estimated that tobacco is responsible for 400,000 deaths in the US every single year.

Because tobacco reduces blood flow, nicotine addiction has been proven to cause impotency.

Among whites, 25.1% of men and 21.7% of women smoke.

Among black or African Americans, 27.6% of men and 18% of women smoke.

Among Asians, 21.3% of men and 6.9% of women smoke.

Among Hispanics/Latinos, 23.2% of men and 12.5% of women smoke.

Among American Indians/Alaska Natives, 32% of men and 36.9% of women smoke.

People living below the poverty level (33.3%) are much more likely to start smoking.

In 1988, the U.S. Surgeon General reported that nicotine is just as addictive as heroin and cocaine. A "hit" of nicotine reaches the brain in seven seconds, twice as fast as heroin injected into the vein.

Tobacco companies spend over 4 billion dollars each year on advertising.

they've been around longer than i have and will be around long after i croak on smoke

Where did i say anything about socialized health care? Quit making assumptions so you can have a talking point.

I was born partially deaf and i get along just fine.
