Nope, but it'll get much worse if you don't quit.

Sorry to be so preachy, but tobacco products have killed half a dozen members of my family. Only in the very rarest of exceptions can someone continue to smoke, dip, chew or whatever with tobacco and not pay the price.

I quit 24 years, 2 months and 26 days ago (Groundhog Day, 1992 - easy to remember), after smoking for 25 years. I substituted cut up celery and raw carrots into cigarette-shaped pieces and gnawed on those every time I wanted a cigarette and after about three weeks I was beyond any smokes.

After a while it became suddenly hilarious to me to see people stick these things in their mouths and light them on fire.

Quit now and do everyone who loves you a favor, not to mention yourself.
