GO YOU! I quit in April 2005. I still want a cigarette too. If I walk past someone who's smoking and get a whiff, oh man. It's such a rush. But one gets used to this. It just gets easier and easier.

Keep up the good work!

Oh I hate the smell. And I'm a self-righteous non-smoker as only a former smoker can be. I can hardly wait for the smoking ban to go through here in Chicago.

Same here. I stopped (as in cold turkey) about 2.5 years ago, and now I'm adamant about the ban too. It's going to be wonderful.

And that's a great bike quote!

congrats are in order for the quitting smoking for so long and for not getting hit by a car (again). this month i've been smoking for 14 years. it's sad.

maybe after i pass the bar i'll be done for good.

I smoked at least a pack a day for 17 years. And when I quit, I just quit. No gum or draw-down or backsliding or anything. If you want to try my method, I recommend getting a severe respiratory infection and pneumonia. As long as you already feel like shit and aren't inclined to smoke, just stop smoking. By the time you're over the illness all the physical side effects of nicotine addiction should be gone. Then it'll just be a lifetime of psychological triggers.

Well, a few weeks pneumonia & resp. infections now seem like a small price to pay for emphysema, COPD, and/or lung cancer later. My dad has the first two, is on oxygen, and still smokes. (Fortunately, he lives far from me, so when he blows himself up I'll get the furniture and the cleaning bill but no physical danger to me.)

Stupid drivers on the phone should be shot! or slapped! or hit by bigger vehicles. Or something.

No, seriously, that cracked me up.

I didn't fully register what he'd said until I was about a half a block away. Then I had to think about it.

1-- Congratu-bloody-lations! That's - how you say - AWESOME, DUDE. Of course you want a cigarette. I do too and it's been nearly 10 years, and my husbo smokes in my face. But I'll probably never, ever give in to it. I just accept it. It's in my every cell now. I can cope.

2-- A+
