I started smoking when I went in the Army. Went from cigarettes to a pipe - which I really enjoyed. Gave it all up in 1968 when my first child was born.

OK Silli, before I wheeze in to action on this thread, what's your story?
And how is your quitting going DaveB? Or is this not the correct area for discussion?
It's the correct area- it's just that my answer is 100% wrong.
I think that within a week I shall be trying electronic cigarettes again (for the second time). I think, and hope, that the answer for me to give up lies with them.

I wish you success, Dave. Nicotine is very addictive.
More so than Heroin I am led to believe.

A brownie point for the first to identify that lyric without using a search engine.

Actually, he got tobacco from the American Indians. They used it ceremonially and still do.

I Googled it and it looks like Shane is wrong, any other takers.
Wasn't that 4 fellers from across the pond that appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the early 60's.

Silli is still in bed at this time but my Google brain thinks you got ya self a brownie point.
I kind of cheated, the song played on our office sound system and when I heard it I replayed it and listened a little closer. . . At least it wasn't goggled.

Beatles. Was it called 'So Tired'?
Good for you man!
Never smoked. Into outdoor pursuits, scuba diving, running, bush walking, motorcycles, sailing and loads more things that left me penniless, happy and very fit. At 17 seeing my Old Man (Dad) die at 54 years old of a smoking related disease was very convincing. Fully understand the powerful addiction as my younger brother is a heavy smoker. Very much admire those who have a go at giving it up. 
I found my electronic cigarette ensemble.
Man, I am seriously vaping!
It tastes awful, but I'm relying on these electronic thingeys to do the trick.

Re-visiting this thread brought back a memory I had all but forgotten.
When I was around 12 years-old I found an old well used smoking pipe in the house. My father smoked cigs so I knew it wasn't his or be missed if I took it.
A friend and I went around our houses and collected cigartette butts from the ashtrays and took the tobacco from them. A couple of days later we put the tobacco in the pipe and lit it.
We puffed on it and and blew out the smoke just like we were really smoking. After a while we began to get dizzy and feeling very sick. We stopped puffing and sat around in mild agony on the verge of vomiting.
It took a couple of hours for us to recover, but we got over it and never did that again!!
Whatever had been put in that pipe over time certainly had fermented into something awful!!!

Hang in there Dave. Think of all the extra goodies you could buy for the Tiger with the money you save.
