oh, i should mention that i quit smoking after 32 yrs of it. my dgd has never had an earache because none of us smoke any more. i am not one of those rabid ex-smokers. smokers come to their right time to quit and then they do. or not. my decision was totally financial. i couldn't stand paying nearly $10/day for something that just went up in smoke. i had tried countless times before, including hypnosis, behaviour mod, accupuncture, counselling, pills, patches, cold turkey... and some would last for 2 or 3 months, then, zap! back to my addiction! this time it has been 14 yrs. i know if i ever pick up another cigarette i will be hooked again. funny thing is, i smoke in my dreams. i am looking for a clear picture of a snapdragon. that was a fun test! and i'm happy with my flower.
