What worked for me for awhile was my best friend wanted to give up smoking. We were about 16, and realized then it was bad for our health. We made a no-smoking pact for cigs. That lasted about 2 years, when I went to college and took 24 hours that quarter. Got 4 hours of sleep a night, and was just about hallucinating from the coffee and No-Dose. That quarter I started back with Taryton filters, the ones with the charcoal filter. To stay awake.
You didn't fail Nilsen. Truck drivers and other folks use cigarettes to stay awake. Same as coffee and No-Dose.;
They are very addictive and habit forming. So is smoking a pipe. Dose your girlfriend or wife smoke?
