Tobacco, How many addicts
I've been struggling this week end trying to quit, cold turkey and wondered how many other Pelicans suffered this addiction. It started over 30 years ago on a highschool baseball team. The coach and a couple other team mates were chewing. The bag of Redman was sitting on the dugout bench. I asked to try some and he OK'd and even though it didn't make sick like the other guys, I didn't like it. A few games latter that season, one team mate brought some spark-plug and another guy brought Copenhagen. I thought both were OK and chose Copenhagen and been chewing for 30 years.
Tried everything to quit, can't last long before loosing my mind. Then I break down and buy a tin and everything is normal again.
BTW, when I started Cope was 88 cents/tin now $5/tin. I'm down to 1 tin/ 2.5 days from 1/day.
