This will be a pleasure...even more so since I quit smoking 2 months ago.

He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
If those are the prices you guys pay for cigarettes in N.America, you are seriously getting ripped off. The same brands charge a third of those prices in Asia.

Marlboro Ultra Lite 100's for me. TH you really quit a couple of months ago? How's that going? Eating more cheetos for substitute? If so, watch that belly!
marlboro lites from time to time. When I feel real good, cigars.

I used to smoke fairly regularly for quite sometime. Smoked Marlboro regulars for a few years before switching to a local brand - Gold Flake.
And like TH, quit smokes about 2-3 months back and holding up fine. :)

Marlboro Lights for me. Especially because many women smoke them, which came in handy at the bars

Yep, I quit on my 30th birthday almost 3 months ago. I'd smoked for 10 years prior. Quit cold turkey: No pills, no patches, no gum, no cutting back before my goal date, no carrot sticks, no chewing on soda straws, no mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam. :)
It was so easy I couldn't believe it....until I reminded myself that I made the vow to quit smoking a whole year before
I spent the entire year reminding myself and my friends helped as well.
So it's easy to quit when you stack the deck in your favor
I started to eat more right afterwards, but that tapered off because the hardest part about quitting smoking was wanting a cig right after a meal.
So I stopped eating. It got too depressing. :)
Actually, I was just remarking to Ray last night that I haven't offered up my hard-earned cash to the Almighty Cheetah in quite some time now.

Way to go TH!
I don't smoke, never have and God Willing will never smoke. I have seen too much what it does up close, with familiy friends.
One guy died recently, in 65 he took 8 MG rounds to the chest, but that did not kill him, Lung Cancer did.
