What habits have you picked up after quitting something? I used to go for long
walks as I quit smoking. I'd buy a popsicle. Fortunately I moved and ended up living where there were great parks and walking paths. That got me through the rough times. I also started to smoke herbal cigarettes that are vile. Now whenever I think of smoking I think of that awful herbal cigarette feeling so I don't crave.

1. I never quit anything.
I just keep accumulating bad habits. It's a good thing I never started smoking because that's about the only bad habit I don't have.

2. I was a dumb bunny at 16 when I started to smoke. What an incredible waste of money that was.
I feel so sorry for smokers now. Good for you for not starting. You were a more stellar teen than I.

3. I actually did try it, very briefly, but it made my hair stink so bad
that I never bought a second pack. This would have been in about 1967.
