Reply #68: 10 years this November and I still miss it.... [View All]

[vi5]

I started when I was 13 and by the time I went to college at 18 was about a pack a day, and remained at that level until I was 24. Until the wheezing and the smelling and everything else just got to be too much. I just quit cold turkey.

I don't for a minute regret quitting or miss all of those other bad things. But sometimes when I walk past someone just lighting up, and get that first whiff of a freshly lit cigarette, I do get the pangs of longing.
