Josh:
glad you are doing better V.  :) 

JW_Halverson:
Try my patented campaign to quit smoking.  Since I'm too dumb to remember even half of a 12 step program, I developed this one that is three steps or rules to remember. 

1) Do not buy smokes.
2) Do not steal smokes.
3) Do not borrow smokes.

Other than that, you are free to pick up any half smoked butt you find in a urinal or in a gutter.

The thing that finally helped me quit was the 10 minute rule.  If I decide I am going to smoke a cigarette, I have to wait 10 minutes before I can do it.  By then I am distracted by life and the craving has subsided enough to leave me alone.  (yeah, I know...short attention spa...SQUIRREL!)

Been quit about 10 years or so now, started at age 9 and smoked until I was 38.

vtclimber:

rockhound34:

stickbender:

     Vtclimber, you wouldn't by any chance be tall and lanky?  The reason I am saying that, it is not uncommon for tall thin people to have a collapsed lung, without any particular trauma to the chest.  Always a good time to quit.  ;) Whenever I see someone who is looking for a cigarette, or they find they have smoked their last one, I tell em......it's a good time to quit.  ;D  Been lucky so far, I haven't come across someone who is in the cranky, and kill for a cigarette stage...... ;D Think of the bow material you can buy now
with all the money you will save by not smoking.  Why pay to kill yourself?  Know what I m ......  Holly Molley, an arrow head!  :o
