Yes but I taste the food and orgasm I don't chew and expend 5ml not exactly the same as holding a burning fag to my mouth just because why not burn a dollar bill same effect. Would you like me to roll your eyes back now?

I'd quit tomorrow, but you'd see me on the news on top of a water tower with a high powered rifle getting rid of frustrations.

Not that its a problem or anything....

Bob, have you ever tried Zware Van Nelle (dutch tobacco)? I was hoping that I could find something (even remotely) similar to that.....

This guy says that "There is part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life".

So, basically, until he was outed, he was a hypocrite

i've tried a couple random ones, but can't say that I'd know what they were, a Dutch mate brought some over when he went to see his aunt, rather nice stuff.

As for rolling backy, won't find much choice in Mass...they only just recently allowed tobacco and lighters to be sold in the same stores, but it's rare finding a place that also sells papers....you could try some places online, which tend to be cheap, but the places I've looked at, postage is a tad to pricey or they won't send it here.

So my question is this anyone else quit after comming over here, do you think it is harder to quit over here for any particular reason? What methods did you use?

I used quitnet web site, went tee total for the first month and Allan Carr books.

Please share your experiences.

Thanks
I found it easy to just stop whenever I wanted for months on end, sometimes for a year without any problem. Since being here I find it amost impossible to stop for even a day ! ........... I used to know a woman who worked in the testing lab at British American tobacco and she told me that ciggies made in the USA have more adictive chemicals in them
