to become addicted than others?

I often will mooch a cigarette off someone else at a bar, but that's about it. I actually don't like the feeling of smoking during the day...well maybe sometimes with coffee...or in the car with the windows rolled down...The few times I bought a pack, I really felt like having a smoke in those situations. In a way though, I can see why you'd get hooked, but I guess I was lucky I never did.

Either way, I haven't bought a pack of smokes in a long time. I was never really hooked though.

A few very short term practical reasons to quit:

1. It's just waaaaay too expensive, especially depending on your state's "sin taxes", it's literally just burning money. I can't imagine how people can afford multiple packs a day.

2. Try working out. The times I smoked, any kind of aerobic activity would be very difficult. I'd get real wheezy. Walking felt awful. Jogging and running were even worse.

3. Anyone want to kiss an ashtray?

4. Want to contribute to republican contributors?
