Yes I do. About two packs a day of full flavor 100's. They are only $3.70 a pack here though so it's not all that bad. However I'm going to quit again soon. My Obamacare will be working Feb 1 so I'll go get some Welbutrin then and quit again.
However, Alex I do have to disagree with you about it being the most self destructive thing. I'd put a couple of illegal drugs up there before cigarettes, and also drinking. However I think it's the most destructive socially acceptable thing to do, although it's not as acceptable in many places as it used to be.
My best friend used to be on crystal meth then when she got off of it she met this douchebag who got her into heroin. Now she's doing that and also back on the meth from time to time. She also smokes cigarettes. I'm just waiting on the phone call telling me she's OD'd cause I know that's coming. She's addicted to the drugs and she's actually quit smoking a few times and it's not that difficult for her. However, she can't go two days without heroin without getting sick. Considering what all is in meth, and all the insane risks of heroin, I would so much rather people smoke cigs than use any of that horrible crap.
My mother smoked for 65 years and died from complications of pneumonia, not the cancer that she always expected to get. That sort of gives me hope that I won't get cancer, but then again I try not to think about it all that much. Worrying about cancer from smoking makes me nervous which makes me smoke more lol.
I'm looking forward to quitting with the Welbutrin again. It's totally painless that way. No being a total b***h, no mood swings, no cravings, etc. Cigs just suddenly taste horrible and I don't enjoy them. I just miss the habit itself, not the smoking. I'm pretty sure I'll post about it when I get the script and when I quit.

I cant take wellbutrin, it is way to stimulating causes motor difficulties like rigid movement and difficulty gripping things I broke one of my cannabis pipes when I tried that medication because I didn't have full control over movement...and it caused some weird visual things like things seemed to be moving the way they might if you look at something stationary while riding a merry go around or something. It was a lot like when I experimented with adderal(just tried some because someone had it and was curious but have never been prescribed it), except more unpleasant and without any real 'high' like the adderall caused
So I do not have that option to attempt not smoking, though when I was taking it I did still smoke it just tasted grosser, I usually just try to limit how much I smoke...also my grandma on my dads side has smoked for years and never developed any kind of cancer I think it is partially genetic for instance someone with genetics more prone to develop cancer would be more likely to get cancer than smoking than someone with genes that are more resilient to that. Then you have cases of people with no genetic pre-disposition, who never smoke and still get cancer

its strange how these things work.
