6. Well,
Finding out your dad had a stroke due to high blood pressure gives a person a hell of a kick in the ass. Other than that, I just cut down, basically cutting my smoking in 1/2 every week, until this week when I am not smoking

20. Well, hang in there.
I quit a year ago. Or at least I quit smoking habitually a year ago.

I'm lucky, I've always been able to take it or leave it. Never had the urge to go rushing out to get smokes when I would run out.

I limit myself to the occasional cigar these days. Gettin' older you know.

19. Perhaps.....
If I still smoked. But I don't.

It's actually not the first time I've used that punchline in response to a similar post. So I have the one in my hip pocket, just waiting....waiting....waiting....
