I met my wife, Morgan Fairchild... wait no that was Jon Lovitz on SNL ..
Two years ago today is the last day I had a cigarette, I grew up with my father owning a vending company, cig machines, jukeboxes, pool tables, etc, so I had fairly easy access to cigs, I was up to 2+ packs a day over about a 30 year period. I was heading to Disney on vacation and came down with a very nasty case of the flu, never left my room at the French Quarter or used my park hopper pass for the entire 10 day trip, on the plus side I never had a cigarette either, haven't had one since. I was always the guy who said I could quit but I didn't want to, well sometimes you get forced into things and you are better off. On the flip side I started getting cigars at the casino when I was shooting Craps, instead of the free smokes I was getting free cigars, I thought it was a boon because of all the money I would save over smoking cigarettes.... ![]() So what started as the worst vacation of my life turned into a boon for my health and heck I have met a great group of guys that I'm proud to call my friends. Both things I've very grateful for. |

Congratulations, Adam!
![]() I quit about 7 years ago. Right after my first son was born. I didn't like smelling like cigarettes when I held him, so I quit then and there.

Congrat's! My last cig was in 2004; I quit because the woman I was dating (who later became my wife) has asthma. That was a tough decision, too, because I was stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany at the time and could get Camel Lights in the Canadian Store on base for $5 a carton.

I smoked Camels (the one's w/o the filters) for 7 straight years. Dropped them like a hot potato in October of 1979. So...
Congratulations to you Adam on your 2 year anniversary. Tomorrow, you need to enjoy a good S.H.I.T. ![]()

Good for you!
I came home from my weekly COWboy herf (had a Fuente Sungrown & Opus X Forbidden City) and immediately lit up a cig - still love 'em!

That's funny - my BIL does the same thing. He forgets he has a cigar and you'll hear him cough from across the room. You'll know what he just did.
Congrats on quitting. I'm looking at 18 years here. I was disgusted with them. I still am. Here's to 50 more years for you, Adam!!

Congrats Adam
Has your sense of smell come back? I quit some 20 odd years ago and now I can tell when a smoker walks in the room or has been on an elevator, just from the smell in the air. Don
