It’s a very hard habit to stop! Both my Mom and Dad smoked. My Mom quite 50 years ago. She turns 101 in May!! My Dad died 20 years ago of cancer. 3 years ago I quite. I never thought I would, but I just felt I had to. I took Chantex for only 5 days!! I had it in my mind that it was time to stop. I wish a lot more people would try to stop. I can breath, taste and smell things like I haven’t in a long time. I just wish that people would try to stop drinking. It not only makes a lot of people mean, but they are killing people driving.

My dad only smoked a couple of years while in the Navy during WWII and he died of lung cancer in 2004 at age 76. I smoked for 35 years but quit using Chantix in 2005, without the drug I don't think I could of quit on my own. I had tried twice before for six months each by riding a bicycle every morning when I felt like I needed my first cigarette, but it never lasted. I started Chantix on a Thursday and by Sunday I had run out cigarettes and quit. I finished the 30 days of pills but that was the end, the nightmares were very bad I couldn't take anymore. That was 15 years ago.

It's very addicting habit, nobody will understand who hadn't smoked. The funny thing was I didn't smoke in high school or 2 years at St. Pete JC, it wasn't until I was 20 and in the Army and overseas in Korea that I started. Initially it was only at night when I was at the NCO Club and I borrow a cigarette. Since cigarettes were only 17 cents a pack, somebody once said, why don't you just buy a pack there so cheap. That was the beginning.

No, unfortunately the new cars and older cars do not have ash trays! I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. No ashtray!

Good for you, best thing you ever did for your health was to quit smoking.
Oh and Thank You for your Service to our Great Country. Thumbs Up

Those people were probably never in basic training. We were all taught how to 'field strip' a cigarette and put the filter/paper in our pockets to dispose of later. Throwing a butt on the ground would get you 50 push-ups and/or a two mile hike.

Cigars are biodegradable. Not saying they should be dropped on the ground, but real cigars are biodegradable.

Does that really matter on a golf course? Does that make it right?

Did you read the entire post???.................No. Just sharing information. Lighten up.

Thank you, this drives me crazy!! We live in a beautiful place, and the butts are nasty. I do a lot of walking, and see many butts that have been tossed from carts.😡

Cigars being biodegradable is a non issue, why bring it up? Me thinks someone took the issue of cigars personal

Duh.


The topic was cigarette butts.
You brought up cigars.
Cigar do not hurt the environment like cig's.
That's why bring it up.


Understand??
Did I talk slow enough??
