No info. But, congrats for taking a step towards smoke free. I quit in 1994. Gotta be honest == it was horrible. I had to change everything I did. Quit coffee, no car rides alone, no bars, no bowling .... you get the picture. I put the money I was saving into a jar every day and on Friday I got myself a gift every week for quite a while.

And, I think one thing that got me through was telling myself I wasn't quitting; I was just choosing not to smoke. If I get diagnosed with a terminal disease or I learn the world is about to end ... I will smoke until I can't smoke again. But, for now, I know not smoking is a healthy way to live and I don't want a life on oxygen when I am older.


FYI -- I still go out of my way to walk behind someone smoking.

e-cigarettes swept through my family a few months ago. Sister, son in law, husband, friends all were on the band wagon. It passed and they're now all back to the real thing. All excited when they started then realized it's not the REAL thing and didn't give them the same satisfaction so it fizzled out.
