Wow you guys! Round numbers equal milestones, and here we are at a very round milestone indeed. It has officially been a full decade since I have touched a cigarette, as of today. I am, in the parlance of the poets, quite fucking incredible.
I don't really have a speech prepared - at this point cigarettes seem a distant memory, a youthful indiscretion. I don't have any inclination towards them at all; the only time I think about them is doing these posts each year - you can click through all ten years worth at this link - or when I see a picture over the course of the year to save for these posts.
I suppose I also think of cigarettes when some prick is walking down the sidewalk blowing their cigarette smoke in my face, but I don't think i have quite yet become the stereotype of the screaming ex-smoker. I still do these posts, after all! In that spirit let's get to it; hit the jump for dozens more sexy smoking menfolk...

ps - there is nothing sexy about a man sucking on a cancer stick
Congratulations! Who is the third guy on your post, after Skarsgård and Hunnam?
Congratulations. I gave it up in 1985, and except for one cigarette in 1988, haven't had one since. The smell makes me physically sick. Your health is far more important. Keep up the good health!
Jean Paul Sartre was told by his doctor "quit smoking or we will have to amputate your leg.
Sartre said "Let me think about it."
This tidbit from Cigarettes Are Sublime (Richard Klein: Duke University Press, 1995) a marvelous little book that offers a provocative look at the literary, philosophical, and cultural history of smoking.
Thanks for the congrats, everybody!

I've never smoked anything. Never tried it...but I look forward to this post every year for some reason...
How did you do it? I’m approaching on 10 years and I really need to stop. 18-28. It’s not cute anymore.
Lots of water, along with potato chips and peanut M&M's. Those were my substitutions that first month. And no caffeine or alcohol. You CAN do it.
It's been 5 years for me last month. Congratulations!!!
What are these pictures supposed to do though?
Congratulations on your decade of being a non-smoker!
And BLESS YOU for these posts. I don't smoke myself, but DAMN sexy men are nearly always sexier with a cigar or cigarette. It's a cruel twist of fate.
