August 1st will be 3 years no smoking.

But my meth usage has increased immensely.

Now that you mention it, July 9th marked 17 years since I quit Copenhagen. Use to go through at least a roll a week.

Quit the snuff 3 turkey seasons ago and recently just started back buying a can here and there. Dumbest thing I've ever done. I'm not as bad as I used to be about it. Need to go ahead and put a stop to it before it gets back to where it was.

Quit cigarettes probably 7 years ago, need to kick the cigars, but that will be even harder...

After my heart attack ,,,I got home,,, wanted a cig real bad,,, I was smoking heavily the night of my attack,, thought about it real hard,,, I told myself I want to live,,,I'm two years free of cigs now,,,

Every now and then I want to smoke,,, while fishing this past spring ,,,(when I really loved to smoke) I slapped my pockets feeling for a pack,,, I said that's right I had quit smoking.

I see someone smoking and I want one,, tobacco damages the heart ,, the lungs and hardens the arteries,, shortens the breath,, effects sense of smell and taste,, not to mention how awful I smelled to non smokers,,

since I quit,, breathing is much better,,, when I used to try and holler at someone I couldn't cause I'd start coughing,,, now I can holler pretty darned good,

But I'll tell you this right now,, if tomorrow Trump comes on tv from the white house and says a giant earth ending asteroid is headed for the planet and we have just two weeks before it hits us,, I'm going down the street to the self serve gas station and getting about three cartons on camels then to the state store and look the @uck out son,,,

I wonder how much money you have saved?

start dipping every year in October and quit every year in February have done that for years. Not sure why, something about cold weather and hunting I guess.

I like smoking cigars in the fall and on cooler nights in the summer around the campfire.

All you smoke/dip quitters - Are you still on the wagon?

I've been dip and cigar free for just under a year now with no cheats. I quit cold turkey and never vaped or used Chantix. I still have moments that I feel like I just quit yesterday and could start again without missing a beat. I do feel physically better, but damn I miss a good cigar!

Call it 12 cans a week, 624 cans a year. So, in 17 years that's about 10,608 cans. WOW, that's a lot of snuff! Dang if I know where all the money I saved went.

Guns, Mark, guns.

I don't know how you do it. If I had a dip right now, I might never be able to stop again. Fear is the only thing that keeps me in the wagon.

Almost 66 years without any kind of smoke, dip or chew and I don't miss the stinking, nasty looking crap at all.

Dip is gross, nasty spit bottles all over truck, house etc full of old stinking saliva. Spit running down your face staining clothes, getting all over the boat or truck door. Once I quit I realized how gross of a habit it was. Still want one now and then but thankful I dont have to carry a spit bottle everywhere I go anymore

Aww, just when I thought I was going to win (actually I did). Congrats on 66 years.

I'm 30 years next month without a cigarette. I would have dreams for a few years after I quit in which I would light up without thinking about it and then realize I had quit and wasn't supposed to be smoking. The disappointment would sometimes wake me up. So thankful to the Lord for helping me quit (there is a backstory, one of the very few times in my life when I believe I heard His voice inside me so clearly that I stopped and turned around to see if someone had spoken to me).
