I did about a pack to a pack and a half a day when I was a freshman in high school. I managed to, after about 9 months (if I remember correctly), bring it down to 1 a day. Then I quit cold turkey. Leave us say it was difficult. It was fortunate that I didn't do any long term, serious damage to my lungs and cardiovascular system.
I waited years before I tried a cigar, and I now feel I've found a healthy and reasonable balance.
I also had zero intention of taking my own life, but I was stupid. Had I not made a correct decision, I would have been committing slow suicide.
You'll have to forgive my unfamiliarity with Canadian law. I'll have to verify suicide's legal status there before we continue on that vein. It is illegal here in the states, as well as many other countries.
