b&h
My first fag was pinched from my dad's Benson & Hedges when I was about 11. Loved it from the first drag.

Moved from them to Gitanes, then to Old Holborn, then to Camel Filterless, then to Marlboro Reds.

In between I flirted with just about every brand of cigarette I could get my hands on:- Disque Blue, Bensons Turkish (oval in a blue box!), Winston, Lucky Strike, Sweet Afton (Irish), Prince (Danish), Ducados (Spanish) - the stronger the better!

I loved smoking.

Then I started on cigars to "cut down"...

15 Hamlet a day became 5 King Edward Half Corona's - until 2 years ago.

One of my son's friends asked how long I had been smoking?

errr "that'd be 30 years"

FUCK!!

New years resolution 2006 was to stop. I did but I could still murder a fag (or a cigar).

New years resolution 2030 will be to start again as I will be so old (65) that I won't care.

Prince!
Oh yes. When I was still a smoker, I loved Prince cigarettes... And having a Danish family, they were easy to come by!

If they started selling them in England, I think my resolve would likely break... :(

Congrats on giving up, it's a hard slog, isn't it?

Running!
The only way I keep off them is by running.

I've done a couple of half marathons now and I know I couldn't do that if I started again :)

My Mum
used to be a smoker and said if she was ever diagnosed with any sort of disease she'd start smoking again.
Ironically she's been diagnosed with an incurable disease but hasn't started smoking...weird
