Congrats on the cigarettes. Or lack of them I guess. Thatsr good.

I can buy tobacco now, and I did. I bought a pipe (because a friend says I'm too hipster for the hipsters) and some mild pipe tobacco. I ground some of that into snuff to try out (plus, snuff has never been linked yet to increased cancer rates). I'm not using execessively, and for sure not getting cravings. I find I actually am even more turned off by cigarettes now. They smell terrible compared to pure, quality, actual tobacco. And they just make such a terrible name for it. It can be enjoyed relatively responsibly, and have very limited health effects. Cigarettes aren't the way to do it, and I now look down on people who smoke them more than I did before I turned 18.

It's still not a great hobby though, and part of me wishes I hadn't picked it uphobby. So another congrats on quitting, and best luck and wishes for the future.
