Beware: Ex Cigarette Smokers!!

Starscream · 05-08-2009, 10:14 PM

I recently bought a 50 count of Don Lino Cigarillos. They are about cigarette size. I haven't smoked a cigarette since July '06. This size cigar has made me want a cigarette for a while now. I'm ashamed to admit that I have smoked almost 10 cigarettes in the past week. I believe that this size cigar has contributed to my addiction. I'm not addicted to cigarettes again, but it' s a dangerous path that I have been treading lately. Ex cigarette smokers, stay away from this size cigar!!! I hope I can kick the habit/addiction soon.

Just a word of advice to those who have battled with the addiction.

Be strong, Andy, you have an entire Asylum behind you.

Thanks guys. This is one third of my problems that I was referring to in my Thoughts and Prayers post. Lighting up my eleventh cigarette now.

Andy, I bought a bundle of 25 Don Linos, but in a slightly larger ring guage. I found them to have a pretty tight draw, but I was looking for something I could smoke on my short breaks during the day at work.

Of course, I stopped smoking cigarettes in 1992, so they didn't bother me any more than any other cigarillo. YMMV...

Good luck on breaking the habit!!!

That's why I don't go near anything that is likely to get me back on cigarettes (been quit almost 5 years now with not a single one).

You could always try and smoke them like cigars

MedicCook · 05-08-2009, 10:37 PM

Toss them out Andy.

It sounds like someone needs to send him a bunch of cigars so he doesn't get tempted to smoke these.

I lit up a cigarette a couple years ago and it really did nothing for me. I put it out after a few puffs.

On the other hand I do sometimes find that I look forward to my Friday night cigar the way I used to look forward to a cigarette. It's not something I really worry about because I rarely smoke cigars during the week at all.

...I just dream about them, and read about them, and post about them on the internet.

Let's not kid ourselves, most of us who smoke a fair amount of cigars are probably still addicted to nicotine to some degree.
