I watched my dad die of lung cancer after smoking for 42 years. He was 56 and I was 23. Less than 12 months later and going through an awkward kind of depression I made friends with the can. Hey, it won't hurt my lungs. I said I'd quit when I got a girlfriend. Over three years later I got the girl and a nice bottle of spit in the same room.
I tried just running out but I miss the physical act. So I'm going straight on the tobacco free snuff. I've got two and a half cans of cope that are getting flushed right now.
Sorry Copenhagen, oh and by the way, thanks for NOT sending the collectable lid I sent away for. Dicks.

Today, I am done with poison. Thank you.

Good stuff, Jeff. I had a similar story, father died at an early age (42) of heart disease after a life of smoking, for whatever reason I began smokeless tobacco when I joined the Air Force because it was "cool", it was "safer than cigs", and hey, my older brother had been doing it for years.
After twenty plus years of being a slave to the can, I'm on day five of quitting. You know the scary thing is, despite knowing I needed to quit for years and years, and finding all of the excuses we all find not to or to delay the quit, in the back of my mind I don't think I believed I could. I never would have believed I would make it through five sorry ass days of no tobacco, I assure you. And as a husband and father of two great kids who look up to me, that's a pretty sad state to be in, when you know you are addicted and don't believe you can overcome something. You just continue showing up at the fucking convenience store, staring at the same counter help and asking for the same damned can day after day after day.
I am so done with tobacco, let's roll. Fuck this.

Congratulations on your quit and on posting Day 1, Jeff!
Read everything you can under this link: KillTheCan.org. Information is power when it comes to quitting.
The initial days of quitting suck, but your life is worth the fight!! If you need anything else, just shout.

Glad you are here. Fuck poison in a can. Fuck copenhagen. Fuck every piece of shit UST suit wearing one of those dolphin pins on his tie making a buck on selling death in a can.
We will overcome. We own our path. No more.

Couldn't you be a little more clear on your feelings, Soul?
Actually, Soul has an attitude and it's not a problem. Learn to hate UST and the crap they sell this badly and you will go a long way in your quit, JesusSkywalker!!!

Thanks guys. I actually need to get bed soon because I work nights but I've been sitting on here instead of on my xbox (my number 2 vice).
I made the pic I failed to embed my avatar. My facebook friends just think I took a picture of one of my dumps.
I spit the last one out two hours ago so I know when I wake up I'm in for the shit.
Here's to Smokey and Hooch and whole lot of profanity
