And this is why:

I've been a slave to tobacco since 1986. My first love was cigarettes. I smoked two packs a day for about 12 years. I tried pipe tobacco for a year, that pretty much sucked. Cigars, well, they were decent, but I inhaled them, which was bad. My real baby came when Skoal came out with Apple flavoring. Oooh. Even now, typing that made me jones. Well, the time has come for me to break up with my tobacco mistress. Not only is she an expensive girl to keep up with, but the main reason is the bad thing she may cause with repeated use--C. That word and letter scare the S out of me.

Sooooooo, this past Sunday night, we had our last dance. I cradled little baby Apple Skoal in between my cheek and gum for the last time. Mrs. Large is very happy. My co-workers are very happy. Me? .............. I'll live. Hopefully a little longer now. Wish me luck, because right now I want to eat a field of Skoal Apple tins....Onward... Upward....
