      I don’t miss smoking, because it was so costly and I felt and smelled terrible. But I do miss the effortless social interactions it led to all the time.

      I’m generally against “sin taxes” but I have to admit that the $2 bump per pack after I quit smoking made it easier to not look back. It’s now about $5 more (I think, I haven’t actually looked for a while.)

      After 18 years of smoking, I am glad I quit.

      Me too, however I miss it less frequently as time passes.

      Still hits you when you least expect it, though, it’s a deep seated addiction.

        I quit and it never appeals to me anymore. Unfortunately, that’s because I switched to vaping and it worked way too well, which was the entire point (on their part). Quitting vaping will be a bitch.
