Re: Too much stress smokes?
When I'm not enjoying smoking, or it's too much trouble to find time or a place to smoke, I just don't smoke. It can sometimes be months. Nobody has ever told me there was a problem with that.
Despite not smoking during those times, I still enjoy the hobby. I keep up on the cigars, stay in touch with the guys here, and wait for an opportunity where I might enjoy a smoke.
I think about it like other things I enjoy doing. I haven't been golfing but one time this year. It doesn't mean I don't like golfing anymore. If I don't feel like going when the next opportunity arises, it still doesn't mean I don't like it anymore or I won't return to it.
I'm not very "black or white" about anything. I try to leave all the fun stuff wide open in case I want to enjoy it later. I've watched lots of guys join the brotherhood and one day say "gee, I haven't smoked in two weeks, I don't like it anymore", then they sell all their stuff, and regret it just months later. I try not to be that impulsive about ruling out anything that may bring joy to short life.
