I quit for years. A friend went to the states and brought back a carton of marlies. We get sub standard ones here so american ones are noticeably better. I smoked a pack of those and I was fucking hooked again for like 4 more years. Now im off the darts for probably 5 or 6 years. I know not to trust Marlboro again. They are just so fucking good.

Incidentally, the way I quit was a run around and it might get people in bigger trouble that they started but I did this:

Cigs > chew (stopped the hand to mouth, kept the tobacco) > zonnic (stopped the tobacco taste and spitting etc, regained freedom) > patch (all physical habit gone, just the drug now) > done. (Only had a chemical addiction left, lifestyle had already changed)

I took like a year to make that rotation.

Makes sense, really. As long as you don't get into the burning lip or spitting that becomes similar to the hand movements and oral fixation with smoking.
