the only time I quit for an extended period, that was part of my 'therapy'. Life circumstances don't allow for the needed thc dosage to consider that option this go around. I'm looking at a number of products, most likely a prescription of Chantix. Probably mid-summer will be my goal to get started. The whole moving / mortgage and busiest two months of the year for work thing is stressful. There's never a good time to try and quit, but sometimes are more optimal than others. We'll give it ago and hopefully I'll be smoke free for next season.

You could go on a mad steezy ski trip with the money you save from quitting cigs..I used to chew tobacco when I lived in Montana and that was really hard to quit..now thc..that's a drug I'll take to my grave:grin:

certainly a consideration, but not my plan. I plan on putting every dime I save from not smoking into a bank account. As the prices go up, so will my weekly deposit. Then twenty years from now I will show that account to my kids or if I don't have kids, my friends kids an example as to why not to never start smoking. It's one thing to say to someone, you're wasting $6 a day, but if you show them tens of thousands of dollars, the impact is much greater.

I have very few regrets in life. Making the decision to smoke in High School knowing full well the possibility of addiction is the biggest one.
