I did it cold turkey, had to beat it mentally - No other way for me.
The Scotch will taste even better when you do
And that truly is the way to go, I've done it before, 3-5 year stretches, then I crash and burn.

$12.00 a pack?! I like a kiss before I get bent over 
Deathstix are around AUD30/packet here and they come in plain packaging with graphic photos of cancers and stuff all over them. If I hadn't quit, they would make me quit.
John Coltrane quit everything but cigarettes. Those stopped him cold- but after quitting heroine, cocaine, alcohol... I guess he was pretty edged out. Addiction is a bad master.I did it cold turkey, had to beat it mentally - No other way for me.

Well done, Your Grace.
And yet, I bet that there are some who take it as a challenge...
Yeah, more or less like that, but me not as ginger ... or pink.
Indeed well done. Ex-smokers tend to be healthier and live longer lives than their never-smoked controls. There are a number of hypotheses about the mechanism, but as far as I know, it is a mystery that has not yet been solved.
But every silver lining has a dark cloud. A large number of neurology clinical researchers refer to cigarettes as a great drug with a terrible delivery system. Smokers tend to suffer fewer degenerative brain diseases and if they do suffer from them, tend to have milder symptoms than their age matched comparables. This is much different from the "smokers paradox"; the tendency for smokers to survive their first heart attack, unlike their never-smoking counterparts. The "smokers paradox" was solved when age-matched controls were used. The difference is that smokers tend to have their first heart attack at least a decade earlier and so are physically better able to survive.
Were they sponsored by Gibson at that stage ?

IME, "smooth" leather straps are still grippy enough to stop a bird from diving unless you are wearing silk
and most leather straps being wider than slick nylon straps helps too.It does not need to be full on suede or super grippy. Anyone who ever sat down on a leather couch naked or in briefs or short shorts could attest
.Good leather straps are ideal for birds, they don't need to be suede.
No clue. I know slash and Izzy are known for Gibson's but Duff, coulda been for the photoshoot, being a Motley mag it must have been when they toured together so it coulda been Nikki's. But I don't know. Maybe he did play them for a bit.
Classic, not only was everything in black and white but there were only 2 or 3 styles of voices for men and about two for women
