I had no idea that 105 years ago cigarettes had less nicotine.
I found snuff tuff to quit, but I eventually did it cold turkey when I was having problems with heartburn a dozen years ago and tried to eliminate possible causes. There was a point where I was smoking cigars regularly, but I didn't feel addicted and stopped fairly easily. Maybe this was because I didn't inhale. Aversion to inhaling, along with drug tests in the Army, probably led to alcohol becoming my preferred poison. I was an abuser of booze when I was young and it's almost miraculous that I didn't become an alcoholic. It runs through our family. Nowadays, I have about three drinks a month.
