good for you - congrats - keep it up! i quit 2 yrs ago and it was the toughest thing i ever did. i daily made the decision not to have a smoke - i was so addicted that it is only in the last month i have found the smell of someone smoking repulsive. i know if i smoke ONE cigarrette i will be hooked again. i save enough money in the first year to by a viking designer diamond with embroidery unit. i was such a heavy smoker that the place where i bought my smokes called me after a month to see if i was ok as i had not bought any smokes in a month. smoking is bad but not the only thing bad for your lungs - campfires, spray on cleaning stuff and have you ever been in the lincoln tunnel during rush hour or any other tunnel. molds in buildings;dust, spray stuff like glade or even pam, talcum or baby powder - all that has teeny tiny particles that you breath into your lungs - so many things are bad for your lungs besides second hand smoke. 25 percent of peple who get lung cancer never smoked but probably inhaled other stuff without knowing it. smoking is the worst - i am not defending it but i really wish the "media" and scientific community would give as much attention to all the other stuff that is just as bad as second hand smoke ( which i now hate the smell of).
all that being said - I WISH EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO QUIT ALL THE BEST SUCCESS!! if i can do it - you can too!

I have been sober (smoke free) for over two months now. Realizing that I now have an extra $150 to spend; I went craiglisting shopping. (usually it is ebaying). I am visiting a friend in upstate New York and for the past few months, I found myself looking for a feather weight in the year that I was born. I know what you are thinking, what year is it??? no no no - not telling !!
I just wanted to share my "happy dance".

!!! I have been smoke free since Oct 1983. That was back when cigarettes were still affordable . I don't know how anyone can afford the price of cigarettes, now!! I hope you are able to find your FW soon. I have several but still don't have one in my birth year (1953).
