I Quit Smoking Fourteen Years Ago Today


Cue up your best cancer cough and prepare for imminent arousal, as it's our favorite smoke-tastic time of year again -- May 5th, when I annually celebrate the day I stopped smoking cigarettes with a massive collection of photographs of celebrity actor people posing with butts in hand. The smoking kind of butts! Not the other kind -- after all we post the other kind of butts being handled 364 days a year. Today's for the simple smoking sort.

Anyway it's kinda nuts I've been doing these posts for fourteen (!!!!) full years now (click here for the entire archive) and I still haven't come anywhere near to running out of photographs -- I do keep a folder of these all year long to build up to the moment, but still, this is the easiest job I assign myself. And that's probably why I've managed to keep it up! 

But disastrously deadly health side-effects aside nobody's stopped taking these photos in the slightest. And there's something kind of horribly reassuring about that to me? Don't get me incorrect, I am incredibly glad I qui, and I don't recommend anybody start and/or continue smoking... but it remains the second sexiest damn thing I can see beautiful men doing. I'm sorry! It just is and does and I have the proof of it! Now hit the jump for dozens...

It has the opposite effect on me. Blech. Haha.

And an annual congratulations from a fellow former smoker! The pictures are alluring but the aftermath dreadful. I certainly don't miss waking up in the morning with a mouth that tasted like a dirty ashtray.

I've multiple times have told people...

"The music video "Left In The Dark Again" proves not even Streisand can make smoking look sexy."

You should post a list of people killed by smoking. Paul Newman. Humphrey Bogart. It's a long, long, long, list.
