YEah, I do nonfilters, and I buy the tobacco and papers
these days instead of the run over the border to Mississippi once a month.

the drugs are not an option I want to deal with, but for a
variety of reasons I should seriously make a serious attempt at it again.  I'm
a lifelong smoker, I smoke less when I'm
actually working on site because the remote truck's control
room is a no smoking zone, and often if I'm doing a church
choir or something on site without bringing the truck their
facilities are nonsmoking as well, but there are still
chances to slip outside and burn one.  But so much of what I do is sitting here
at this desk, and a cigarette is just
part of that.
I'm considering the electronic artificial smokes with the
flavor things though.  But, a radio colleague who I noted
was trying them on for size a few months ago is back on the
regular cigarettes again, or at least he was last weekend.
That's not very encouraging to me.  YEt a lady friend back
in Iowa seems to be doing fine with the simulators.

There's the rub, when busy doing a lot of the stuff I do
around here I truly enjoy that smoke.
