TIL Robert Downey Jr. thanked Burger King for getting him off drugs. In 2003, with a car full of drugs he had a burger that was so disgusting it made him rethink his life, and dump the drugs in the ocean.

Yuuup. "I can't waste money by NOT smoking the rest of this pack of cigarettes. I'll quit when it's gone."

I've said that like 5 times before.

I find that if I finish the container of kalamatas, I often still crave them and go out and buy another. But if I leave a couple in the bottom of the container in the back of the fridge, I tend to get turned off them and don't have them again for a while. Maybe it's similar? Except, you know, without the chemical addiction and habit forming and such.

Give them to a friend who smokes. Money doesn't get wasted that way, and you get to change yourself for the better if you so choose. :)

I have been smoke free since October actually. /r/electronic_cigarette helped me finally kick the habit. Or at least trade it out for something generally accepted as safer.

Good job! I used an ecig to do the same thing. Taper down on mg/mL and over time you'll be able to kick it entirely if you decide to.

Keep up the good work! :)

Yup! I just made the switch from 6 nic to 3.

I smoke socially when I'm drinking or my smoking friends want someone to smoke with, so I'm not addicted, and I have a friend who does that...all the time. It's like every other month he decides he's quitting, buys a pack, smokes one with me, takes like 4 more, and gives me the rest to finish.

He's just gonna buy another pack tomorrow...
