He later told the story that I would light a smoke, take a drag - then put in the ashtray -get on the radio - then a minute later light another. Lather, rinse, repeat......
At one time I had 5 cigarettes lit at once..
Force of habit...
I knew a guy in the army who was so in the habit of smoking that he'd strike a match and raise it to his mouth without even having a cigarette in his lips. I used to smoke cigars when I was in college during the late 1960's and switched to pipe smoking about ten years later. I gradually lost my taste and interest in smoking by the early 1990's and gradually quit without any real effort. I was buying my cigars, pipes and tobacco from The Thompson Cigar Company. They're still in business, but their product line is not as extensive as it used to be.
i have never smoked a cigarette in my life
