When Did You Start Smoking?

[quicksdraw]

I started when I was 12. Of course that led to my heart attacks at 40 and lung cancer at 43. Now, 13 years (almost to the day) since my last cigarette, I still get the occasional craving.
I wish I could go back and kick the 12 year old me in the ass and unscramble his brains!

Congratulations, BTW. My dad quit after 30+ years and it was really tough for him.

Tough part was two days after we quit, and I found myself in the emergency room with heartrate going bonkers. I've had an arrythmia for years, but it's well controlled and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Dr did. I was rather suddenly diabetic

I think the stress of quitting made me sick, personally. First week was almost unbearable, second week wasn't bad, since then I've had no issues. Every now and then I reach for one at times when I used to have one, but it's not a problem at all to deal with.

That father would be seeing my Steel toe coming back down to the ground after he's doubled over with a squeaky voice! SCREW THAT!

I started at 13 and i'm 27 regretting ever starting. At least I've learned to save money by rolling my own.... Only save $150 a month....

Until April 1st....then rolling tobacco goes up $24 a pound....rotten SOB's.

After much searching I couldn't find the bill or any news articles about it. I'll go to the tobacco shop tomorrow and look for the Bill number.
