great post. I've been smoke free for 5 years (this coming January), and I really feel sorry for those who are still hooked. I was a pack a day smoker, at times 2 packs, so not a casual by any means. I really consider myself lucky though, because after smoking for 13 years, it seemed too easy when I finally quit. I don't know whether it was the cold winter and snowing and I had pneumonia, and maybe I was hallucinating from fever, but when I went outside for my last smoke I suddenly had an out-of-body-experience and it was like I was watching myself. I looked pathetic, trying to light a dart in the cold wind with an almost empty bic lighter. In that moment I knew I was done with smoking, and have never bought a pack since. the habit is about as logical as eating dirt for dessert, or drinking your own pee to quench your thirst... Once you get away from it, you realize just how disgusting and ridiculous the act of smoking a cigarette is. Despite that, I still get a craving every now and then, but only from the smell of a lit smoke. The smell of smoke on someone's clothes is enough to make me puke.

once you quit, it all changes! lol....I know my daughter came home from a friend's house, where the parent smoked. I could smell it from a closed upstairs bedroom. I told her to strip and put her clothes in the washer and make sure she put the lid down. thanks for sharing too. I am following you and upvoted you too.
