    Put all that money you save from not smoking in a jar. After a year, you may have enough to buy my coot decoys!

    If of course, I decide to sell...

    Good Job guys. My grandfather, God rest his soul, smoked for 40 years before quitting. He use to tell me he was glad he quit but could smoke one a mile long if he had it. He said he missed it like crazy until they took out half of one of his lungs. Took him a year to recover from that.

    I haven't had a smoke since June. I get cravings like you wouldn't believe every now and then but don't give in and they will eventually go away. The hardest part is trying to stay smoke free while socializing and drinking.

    I quit in 1995 when my 1st grandson was born.

    Unfortunately it's time for me to put the can down. My 6yo boy caught me in a moment of weakness having some type of sinus episode sneezing and snotting, nothing to do with dip, but he said my Yuck (dip) was making me sick. We happened to be on the way back from hunting and he said I should stop doing Yuck because it would make me sick and I couldn't take him hunting any more. He said I should stop now and I told him I had almost a log at the house, let me finish that and I will. He said "ok, how about 9 days, is that enough time for you to stop doing yuck"?....I thought about it and said yes, reckon after about 25 years of the stuff its run its course. Good luck BB, smoking were't bad for me to quit cause I dipped. This will be the challenge. Especially under the hood of a car, on the deck bowfishin, or holding a fishin pole. Im sure the boy will keep a fire lit under me.
    You can grow up to be just like me....

    I thought about quitting once, and said fuck it.

    Sorry you lost your vice BB, a good habit is a terrible thing to stop.

    Who says I am quitting? It is the family business. I am just waiting 5 minutes before I get into it again.

    I enjoy by vices. Without them, my virtues might not shine so brightly.

    BB that quote you shared comparing cotton to tobacco and it's relevance to waking up in the middle of the night makes me laugh.

    Done the same thing. Made a promise that I don't want to break and hopefully never will. Smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes a day then went to dipping. I used to keep a dip in for 3 hours or till there was nothing left in it. Still miss it from time to time but don't miss spitting out skin from my gums in the morning.

    I read this about 3 hours ago. I lasted 36, 5 minutes without snuff.

    Good for you.
