I gave up smoking entirely and had my wife sell all of my pipes, racks, tampers, etc to pay for baby stuff since she is due in a few weeks and used a little of the money to pay for my new wheel(s) that I'm getting.
I damn near cried when I saw her packing some of them up but oh well, how can one be a good role model to a child when they're a hipocryte themselves.
