smoked for about 15 years since I was 12. Quit almost 2 years ago and not one cig since. My choices where:
in this order,
Marlboro Medium
Djarum
marlboro Lights
banson and hedhes menthol
any available brand
hay rolled in bible paper...

I also had a couple mafu lights or ganja menthol...

 

at 21 years old, still have never smoked a cigarette...I like cigars every once in a while, and weed if its free, that's about it.

 

I always like to point out to my smoking buddies that they're smoking away their new bike. Those that have a pack a day habit could take that money and pay what ever high interest payment loan for the bike of their choice. $3 a day for a month (30 days) is $90. Every bike maker out there advetises financing around $90 a month in the spring. I know you'd be making that payment for ever, but what's the difference if you're just smoking the money away?

 

Yeah and $3 a pack is what is used to be... now it's closer to a $5 average

$5 X 30 days = $150 X 12 months = $1800 a year you could put into your 401k... at 25yo a good 401k with $2000 input a year means you will have $637,000 in the bank by the time you retire... and that's assuming you add nothing else and your employer matches nothing (unlikely) and you don't earn any more money as you go along...

 

Yep, that's the second reason why I quit. the first was my newborn daughter.

 

I finally quit after fighting with it for about a year.

 

I smoke em every now and then. Don't think I can get addicted. Must have the anti-addiction gene in my DNA. I sometimes go a few months before I smoke a stog. Then I can smoke 8 in one evening and not touch em again for weeks. Marlboro mediums though all the way. Never found a cig that never fails to satisfy as all the other brands/kinds always eventually do.

 

Thats exactly how I am, and I never get that "craving" feeling like some do

 

I also forgot to mention that I can now ride through a gas tank without some serious withdrawl action going on.

 

I'm a Dunhill man.... I seldom see this brand over other places but it is a top scorer in my place..
