Bonfire to honor Jillar and all others who lost their lives due to cigarettes

[johnny5]

Next Thursday (May 29) would have been Jillar's nine year smoke free anniversary.

 

In her honor and memory, along with the memories of so many other smokers who had their lives cut short, I am lighting this bonfire.

 

Please throw your unused cigarettes into the bonfire in their memory.

 

**  In the past, we would say how many unsmoked cigarettes we were throwing into the fire.  Unfortunately, our tickers mostly don't show that now.  Just state how many days, years, whatever, you have been smoke free.  There is a free unsmoked cigarettes calculator below if you want to figure out an estimate of how many cigarettes you have not smoked since you quit.   **

I am throwing my 62,223 unsmoked cigarettes in honor of Jill and others who have lost their lives to cigarettes.

Thanks Johnny. 

I'll throw in all the years we all have squandered so carelessly.

In Jillar's honour, I'm throwing on the thousands of cigs I haven't smoked since I quit. She and others here helped me keep my determination up to stay quit and for that, I will be ever grateful!

R.I.P.my dear friend Jill

Yes, @tocevoD a few weeks ago.    Doreen put a post in the Socializing section.

In Jill's memory I am throwing away approximately 291,000 cigs....a pack a day for 40 years!   Jill and all of you helped me so much to give up the horrible cigarette addiction.  Jill, I didn't know you very long, but for a couple years that I knew you on here, you were a lovely person and I considered you my friend.  You left this earth way too soon and I hope you are now RIP!  I am going to do my very best to be as good a Moderator as you were and Doreen is.  You certainly will be missed Jill!

In honor of Jillar, I toss in 40 years of cigarettes.
