Yes, I did but my "leisure" is limited to a weekend only every couple of months. Sure not when I go out for a couple of beers - I might start back sliding.
I'd been smokin' about 6 years or so and the team had been raggin' on me to quit. We were on a two week or so FTX in western NC. One of the first mornings I said "OK, I quit" and one of the commo guys asked "Are you sure?" When I said yes he ran over grabbed all my smokes and stomped them into the ground.
I had chewed a bit before that and he was a big time Copenhagen dipper so he kept me buzzin' for the rest of the FTX. Got home and there was no place to spit so I didn't dip. A couple of weeks later we went to the range and Ernie H gave me a big 'ol dip. Got sicker than a dog, head all spinning and fell over.
After that I had no desire to smoke for recreation but did smoke now and again when I was chatting with a TS who smoked. Been that way ever since.
