I quit about ten years ago. I was getting sick of it and Hillary was going to finance her health plan with taxes on cigs. I went cold turkey and being mad at Hillary helped me over the rough spots. Maybe you could think of all your money that will NOT be going to the government.

On t’other hand… you do realise that by giving up you’re doing exactly what they wanted? Hillary and co rigged the so-called sin tax system to manipulate you, and you bent right over and said “that felt good, do me again daddy”.
Just to throw a golden apple amongst the gods, so to speak…
Actually now I’m going to live longer and healthier and I can now vote against her and her children (spiritual ones as well as the other kind) She’s my senator .and some of the money I save can be contributed to whoever runs against her in 2006.
Anyway I just got sick of the habit & Hillary made it that much easier to quit.
One final point When I quit I swore that I would not complain about smokers and so called second hand smoke. I have kept that pledge, but I do find myself avoiding smokey bars and so on. (Easy to do in the US)
