Hello Butch, when I worked in Western forests where it rained all the time, I would put my fumeros along with a pressure bandage above the webbing in my hardhat, but they had to be wrapped well in baggy.

Nah, I'm too nice a guy to make money off the tobbacco industry...

Well there's that and maybe you don't want to have to share in the liability of promoting the habit?

Something John just mentioned is along the same lines as something in another recent thread.  Placing stuff between your shell and webbing in the hard hat can make it so the suspension will bottom out on your head, which is likely why the practice is officially prohibited.

You could do like I used to do and quit smoking but still chew, or quit chewing but still smoke...

I dont smoke, never have smoked a cigarette in my life (note - cigarette). Ive smoked a pipe and cigars before while working in the mosquito woods of N. Minn.

Anyway, I was on vacation a couple weeks ago and was watching a tv show bout 4pm (wont say the name) and they had a dr. on as the guess. he was there showing body parts that had been taken out of peoples bodys after theyd died. They showed a lung w/ cancer nodes on it. IT WAS NASTY!!! If I thought I could dig up that picture, I would and post it. If that sight wouldnt convince you to quit, Im not sure what would.

Sorry.

i used to smoke in the tree, but quit that. no much better but now i dip some skoal, but can breath alot easier. only smoke 1 or 2 at night . i did tie a cold beer into my lanyard the other night to climb a pine in my yard and watch the sun set into the river the other night though. my wife and i plan to quit smoking (and skoal for me) in two weeks. 14 years of tobacco is too long with that crap.

Gerald B has a cool buddy with whomever is with him, when he gets to the top in one of his rec climbs.

I wish 'ole Jerry would stop in here, once in awhile. We've talked, via email. He's cool in my book!

Sooo, how did all you x-smokers quit? Those who smoke now, what's your plan?

I wanna quit smoking soon but I gotta quit the drinkin' first. No beer for 3 weeks so far. As soon as I feel that I got that kicked, I'm gonna try my hand with cig's. Been smokin to long. 10 years.
I decided that I'm To good looking to look/feel like crap when I'm 35.

 

[jimmyq]

Quittin fer me. I just woke up one morning and said F this. I am done smokin. ate maybe three pieces of that disgusting gum over the next couple days and just toughed it out. havent had one since.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Not me

I used the patch, and the gum.

In 3 or 4 months, I slowly weaned myself off.

I took my time, and it worked. For three years!

Cool deal Butch, We used to use the soap dish in the army to keep our smokes from gettin crushed and wet. Kudos.

Personally, I like drinkin, gamblin, smokin, chewin tobacco, fat girls and Little Debbies. Ya know why? When I die I want to look dead, I want people walkin by my caskett to start gaggin. "Ack!!! He stinks" I dont want to be burried though, I want to be cremated and thrown in the chili at the wake. I want every one to have a little taste of me when I dead and gone.
But before they do that I want them to cut off my pecker and throw that in after the fact. 6 words you dont want to hear at the wake, "there's a dick in the chili. Theres a nut in there to, I know if theres one theres probibly two, I aint eatin that stuff!"

I am with jimmyq - I smoked for ten years, and then one day out of the blue it struck me what a dumb a** habit it was. I had a half a pack left, and I threw it on the ground and stomped the daylights outta the sucker.

That was back in 1982. Been clean ever since, and felt better pretty much right away.

To be honest, there are times to this day when I still would love to light up, but I have so far stuck to my guns and not given in!

Besides, do the math. With the money you save, you can always pick up a new chain saw every couple of years or so!

Patch got me through the first week, but I wanted a cig almost every waking hour for the first month. I'm only on day 59 now, but I will make it. How do you go back after 3 years, Butch?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Jail.

 

[tomreeve]

I smoked for a pack a day for 5 years. For the past 3 I have been cutting it back. Now I am a pack every two-three weeks. I think that i will stay here awhile.

never give up

never started so i can never give up.....im that smarmy git in the pub chocking while you puff away happily.

dont drink much, probably about 2 - 3 pints a week on average.

as for smoking you ingest soo much crap without it why add extra to it

Maybe we should start A.S.S.A. Arborist site smokers anonymous.

 

[arboromega]

not a bad idea wct ...ill turn here for support. my father was smoking 25 years quit cold turkey and has been off em 15 years. still says he has cravings and said the moment the doctors tell him hes too old and close to death his frist request will be a pack of marlboros.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm quitting.

I need 10 more degrees, so the patch will stick.

Even, using duct tape.
