I'm attempting to quit smoking again today. I quit for probably a month or two late last year. I'd see someone on TV or in public lighting up and think to myself, "Damn, I bet that tastes like fucking immortal heaven." When I started back, I noticed exactly how shitty cigarettes really tasted. Especially Camels. I switched Marlboro's and they didn't taste nearly as bad. I worked my way down to Marlboro Lights. The past 2 cartons I bought were Ultra Lights, which is like smoking air. Just finished my last one a few minutes ago with a cup of coffee. I went yesterday and got a tin of these Camel Snus spitless snuff pouches. They're like the Skoal Bandit pouches, only you don't have to spit.My worst problem with quitting smoking isn't necessarily the act of smoking itself, its more the withdrawal which manifests itself in the form of MASSIVE mood swings and agitation. If I don't get any nicotine for 12 to 24 hours, I start getting pissed off very very easily. Someone can ask me a question about some little something and I'll jump their shit with an attitude like I'm ready to fist fight. That's where the spitless snuff comes in. If I feel myself starting to get a little pissed, I'll pop one in. You're supposed to spit it out after 30 minutes or less, but I'll usually kinda chew on it for an hour or more until it starts to break open.I dunno. It seemed to help last time. We'll see. So if I seem a little more vulgar and confrontational than usual in the next few days, it's not me, it's the lack-o-tobacco.
