I quit about a year and a half ago.  I decided enough was enough when I was told when I bought my last pack that they would be going up to $5 a pack that evening.  I took my time with that last pack, two weeks to smoke it.  After that I only stumbled a couple of times when drinking with friends.  I figured out that I can avoid that by keeping a cigar with me when I drink with friends that smoke.  Has kept me from picking it back up so far. 

I have become a lot more aware of how it effects others as well, though I try not to puch it onto people too much.  Most I generally do is every so often make comments to my friends about quitting, but don't push the issue.

I was "smoking" Marlboro Ultra Lights/Ultra Light 100s.
I don't think that counts as smoking.  ;D

Much like drinking 3.2 beer is not intoxicating.   ;D

Are you talking about the one around 58th and Mingo that spills out on to Mingo at their entrance lane ?
If so you are absolutly right. It's almost like they are giving away free crack with any purchase. Can their prices be that much better than any other tax free Indian place ?
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.
