Re: SMOKING / not anymore!!

[Guest guest]

I quit smoking Thanksgiving of 1976. I was going to be underground with a

group of non-smokers and I didn't want to be going through withdrawal right

then, so I actually " quit " sometime before. As it turned out, a freak thaw

flooded the cave passage we had to go through, so the trip underground was

abandoned. I had already quit smoking, I just didn't start up again like I

had when I was in the Air Force and they gave you those & %$@# 5 min smoking

breaks during basic. I just really hate sanctimonious former smokers.

Sometimes I ask for the smoking section in restaurants, as it is often the

" no kids " section too. I really, really hate small kids. More than I hate

smoke. You don't want to hear what I think about baseball and golf.

I started smoking and drinking coffee during those 5 min smoke breaks in

basic training. Otherwise you were the person picking up those butts or

having to do something else while everyone else was on break. I smoked

until I retired from the Air Force and did not live close to a base and

did not want to pay the price for them on the street. Mind you, I paid

..10 cents a pack overseas in 1967. On my retirement, a carton was 11

dollars on base. 5 years later I started smoking again and paid 27

dollars a carton off an Indian Reservation. Quit again September 02 and

DX PLS November 02. Still have trouble wanting a cigarette, especially

after eating. Watch others light a cigarette also gives me problems and

find myself helping them light theirs. When a child, my parents owned a

grocery store and a carton of regulars (camel or lucky strikes) sold for

$185.00 and kings (with filters) sold for $195.00
