American Spirits are awesome. Yes, tobacco is not good for human lungs, but at least these cigs are just tobacco and not mixed with a bunch of chemicals.
Good luck on cutting down. That trick never worked for me, but cold turkey has worked a few times -- I even quit once for over a year. I always come back though. If you're still smoking 2/3 of pack a day, you like to smoke way too much. I have that problem too.
So at least now I know. It's not that I can't quit, it's that I don't want to quit, and I'll have to deal with the consequences of that. We each pick our poison, and I happen to really like mine.
