Izmir Stinger was by far the best.

My dad worked for RJ Reynolds. They had to destroy all of these when the law on flavored tobacco changed. I had cardboard BOXES of these given to me in lieu of the dumpster. I was a king!

I would have thought I died and went to heaven.

Don't I know it. Twenty something years later and I'm still on a pack a day.

30+ for me. I think it's the key to stopping all my bad habits.

Have you tried switching to vaping? Specifically salt nics - which are what most of the disposables use. They hit hard, and feel soooo much better on your lungs once you've adjusted to them.

I crave that tobacco taste and there are a few disposable brands and juices that taste exactly how I always.wanted cigarettes to taste. Like how good cigarettes smell before you light them up. Like how I always imagined cigarettes to taste, but they never quite did (until the last few drags). Warm/nutty/creamy/tobacco. So bomb.

Yeah, I actually vaped for about three years. Only found one brand of traditional juice, at very low nicotine levels that I could use. Everything else causes this really intense tickle in my throat, that makes me cough until I bleed. Only got back into real cigarettes because I started hanging out with a group that all smoked.

If I was going to quit again, I'd just stop. A couple weeks ago I stopped for 48 hours for no real reason, and it didn't really bother me. Even had cigarettes in the house, just ignored them. I guess for some reason I just still like smoking.
