NYC Cigs Hit a Smokin' $10 a Pack

I don't care where they smoke as long as I don't have to inhale their second hand smoke. Reply

Smoked for 35 years... Most difficult thing - to quit... Tried 9-12 times. How did I quit? I didn't / wouldn't smoke in my home for about the last 6 years regular tobacco usage. I smoked exclusively (no bumming - no matter what, that's the key) a brand called 'Ecstasy' (no relation to 'E')... Found in head-shops. Its made of lotus leaves, no added chemicals, nicotine, organic, etc... I always carried a pack in the car, on me etc... Within 3.5 months, it was mostly, purely Freudian (mechanical habit). The rest of the year I worked it down, naturally - no effort to 1 or 2 every couple of days... And eventually, did even bother... Then bingo! I said, screw this... I stopped (but kept them around as a pacifier - didn't use). Smoke free for 6.5 years. Never been happier, healthier - No more respiratory infections - Rarely cold, etc... Hated, embarrassed of the way I smelled. I dated a woman who smoked for 2.5 months... And I couldn't stand kissing her... I couldn't stand the smell or taste of her. We didn't last... It's frik'n gross! Takes one to really know one... Consider Ecstasy - It isn't tobacco, so it isn't taxed the same... It unquestionably cheaper. You can purchase cartons online... Do your homework. Good luck! Reply

This will back fire when more and more people quit. What about the children!? I smoke about 5 cigs a day and could probably quit if I wanted to. But I don't for fear I'd pick up a worse addiction....lol. And WEIGHT! Reply

Look for Tabacco unemployment rise after this Reply
