I used to smoke and had a unique way of quitting. I was ten years old and used to buy cigs and smoke about a pack a day... big shot George. I actually quit smoking after my mother caught my brother smoking when I was was 10 and a half.

I never smoked during my swimming years, but since I quit at age thirteen for a non-aerobic sport (football lineman) it wasn't something that directly hampered me when like many I tried smoking through some pleasant experiences with the chronic (weed). Yes, marijuana does lead to smoking cigarettes! I was up to two packages a day when while riding the monorail in Seattle, I coughed up a small Martian & decided that was exceptionally gross & quit on the spot & never backslid. Has been 30 years, but for at least 10 years I would catch myself smoking in my dreams. Is that scary or what?
