    for a brief period in my life (thankfully) when I was in my mid-20s, I took up casually smoking Drum - mainly because I liked the way a leather pouch of tobacco smelled and enjoyed the nature of rolling cigarettes - one day, I realized I had gradually gone from smoking 3-5 per week to 3-5 per day - I quit - never had another - I guess I didn't get addicted enough for it to be that hard - didn't miss them after a week or so - so very glad - now, I absolutely abhor cigarette smoke and avoid it at all cost. I think you should drop it - very bad for you.

    Bring 'em. However you may want to switch to lights, they will be easier to carry.

    I might take up a pipe at some point.
    Would like to run another fast mile before I do.

    I was in New Orleans once back in the 80s. Looked for some of that Mardy Grass but couldn't find any.

    Bring 'em. Wait til you get past your first two weeks and then decide to quit.

    I went a week without smoking January 1st - 8th with the aid of nicotine gum. It does work, but you will still have some serious withdrawals, mostly its psychological, but I would not want to be going through that on an epic 2,000 mile journey through the woods. I'm back on the gum and this is my second day and I feel great.

    Ummm, I disagree. I always go with the ultralights, they're .7oz lighter.

    I am so glad your doing well that's great.I have used the gum too,and it has been just as hard to quit using the gum as well.But in my best thinking,I am able to take a deep breath,and contemplate quitting....again.It's been a good trade off.
