a pouch of tabacco (probably close to 3 packs, though unfiltered) a day and I have no clue how much coffee.
About 5 years ago my body stopped completely digesting food, and barely processed the Vitamins and such. The doc's actualy said to NOT cut cold turkey, they were afraid my body would go into shock. Between the smoking, coffee and (shhh, drugs) from when I was younger I screwed up my metabolism. Really bad. Since High School I've had a problem keeping weight on, but it had gotten really bad. I was down to 110. I'm 6'4".
So, for the last 5 years I've been cutting down and re-introducing thing back into my diet.
Down to one pouch a week & 1/2, 3 cups of coffee (1/2 caff) and none after noon. I'm also up to 185lbs. There is still a lot I cannot eat, and I can no longer be a Vegetarian (body has a real hard time with veg protien, you don't want to know what it does) but I feel a lot better. Just wish I could just eat 3 normal meals instead of lots of little ones all day long.
