can't do it.

switched from a pack of camels a day to rolling my own though. Pack of camels a day was pushing me up to about $240 a month, at least with rolling I'm spending $8 every 5 days or so.

can't roll em on the rocks with wet hands either.
far too dependent to cut cold turkey.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

4 months, GREAT JOB Matt. Just one won't get you back at this point and don't let it. Get to 6 months no matter what! I think that is when you have broken the back of the habit.

I quit just over 15 years ago after smoking for 30+years (started when I was 14 or 15). I too sampled 1 or 2 cigs during the first year, boy did they taste good. After a year they taste like s**t and you are starting to hate the smell of a smoker. Not sure how anyone can afford that habit any more. Take your cig money an put in a jar as evidence of how much you are saving. When the jar is full CELEBRATE.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Hang in there - Mark Twain had a great joke where he would say "quitting smoking is easy, I have done it a hundred times." Stay tough!
