      I did cold turkey starting 2/2/2002. I smoked Newport shorts like it was going out of style. The very thought sickens me now….

      Think it, be it.

              I need to quit. I am super addicted to nicotine. My wife never smokes, but she can have one or two on the weekend when she drinks. I envy her for this. Told myself I would quit at 30…... Well,I'll be 32 soon, and I'm about to go stand out in freezing cold weather to Feed my addiction. They are the devil!!

                  I'm not really sure MM, a lot of the folks I ran with (black and white) burned Newports. I can't even imagine why I liked the flavor, thinking about it makes me retch. I smoked Kool Mild Kings prior to that and Lucky Strike unfiltereds prior to that. Maybe I was trying to kill myself, other habits of that stage of my life kind of support that hypothesis 😃

                  I'll tell you one thing, it's the cheapest one to smoke (ain't nobody trying to bum a Newport….)

                  Think it, be it.

                      My dad started smoking when he was 8.  My entire childhood he did ±2 packs a day.  Finally quit when he was around 60.  Never too late, as long as you have the will.

                        i smoked a pack a day for years….quit cold turkey one day. the key, as I told my friends, is that i didnt try to quit. I just woke up and quit. If you don't really want to quit...it will never work.

                        I quit back in 2011. Past few months I've had some smokes....bachelor party.....then wedding.....then when i got drunk one night.....then when I was just drinking. I'm keeping an eye on it, I don't mind having a smoke when I drink, but I worry about my addictive personality.

                            I smoked a pack a day for 10 years. I quit 4 years ago cold turkey and never looked back. Before that I quit a hundred times, it was easy 😉

                              Well I'll keep you guys posted… He's on his third day now... His Cranky-Little-Bitch Lvl is now at about 2 (out of 10)... And I only brought it up to 2 as he didn't wave back at me at 7 am this morning as he left for work... In all fairness: had he done that to me, I would've knocked his block of...

                                Add another one to your list, madman. I smoked Benson & Hedges Menthols for a few years. I constantly had clerks telling me I was the youngest person to buy them by 30 or 40 years; which told me I was on to something. Haven't had a cigarette in nearly four years now, though.

                                  Oh, and best of luck to your brother, Seul. Quitting will be one of the best (and toughest) things he will do for himself in his life.

                                          I looked here as well as elsewhere, and am not finding the specific info I seek. As a newbie I lucked out finding a perfect pair out of the gate, the 666 is exactly my  preferred cut. Thighs aren't too big for my lanky frame, while the hem still works to get over my boots, the rise even sits spot on where I prefer. Let's assume this is the only pair of pants I own that fit me. Let's also assume that in a month or so I plan to remedy the problem. Given I am getting familiar with IH/TW and have scoped this brand for what I want, given the fit parameters, what else would others suggest? I am looking for real variety, maybe a all American, something black(I like seperate weft and warp color), possibly a chino, I am pretty much a blank slate. I want to stay over 14oz in denim, and keep within the cut, but don't have many other barriers. Also if there is anything to avoid I want to hear it and why as well.
