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.

Peter...from what I've been told...thinking about a drag on a smoke after years of non smoking...is akin to thinking about that beautuful young lass that got away when we were young.....and then meeting her at the reuion 30 to 40 years later and she comes in at 350 lbs.....
I can paint the brush strokes a bit closer if you'd like, but you get my point....I think.....
NMS, When I say that I never "Found" anything great, I mean that I didn't (and still don't) think it's cool to smoke. When I was in High School, the others would try to get me into smoking, but I always found ways to decline and say no.
I was surprised at the number of ex smokers too.
You know what Georgia's State Merit insurance is doing?
You have to sign a statement you haven't smoked in the last 12 months. If you have there is a hefty smoker's surcharge. And, if you insure any of your dependents, they fall under the same regs. You sign a statement for each one saying they haven't smoked, if they have you pay a surcharge for each dependent that smokes. AND if you are caught not telling the truth you stand to lose your insurance.

My mother had glaucoma, I've told her several times I thought she should just forget the drops and eye docs. LOL, she says she is 'scared' to try it.

In fact, Our First President of the United States actually smoked weed often. He was plagued over the years with chronic tooth aches and began growing marijuana at Mount Vernon to help deal with his tooth ache pain. On more then one occasion historians made reference to George Washington’s medical use of marijuana….and the fact remains, he owned one heck of a farm…..
If all be known, when General George Washington led the American revolutionary troops across the Delaware River in order to surprise the English and Hessian troops in the Battle of Trenton the day after Christmas in 1776 he very well “may” have been high. Reports from his troops indicated that he was in fact suffering from a severe tooth ache on that cold freezing night.
