Remind me that I don't like to smoke anymore. Even if I think 'Oh, I've had a drink, a ciggie would be OK', no, it's not. Bleck. Yuck. I'm afraid I am becoming an ex-smoker. Sorry and all that.
D'you know, one of my listed reasons for wanting to stop was that I know you and the tobacco don't get on so well and it'd be nice to meet you at some point, and for you not to run off screaming cos I'm a tobacco fiend. ;-)
As it happened though all it took was a nasty chest infection to get me to stop - literally couldn't smoke through that, then seized the opportunity while it was there. I'm quite relieved to know that even if I do succumb at a party or whatever I am not likely to start smoking again.
Hey! I could add that to my CV maybe? "Listed as a reason for giving up smoking" ?
Glad to have been of help. :)
Funny you should say that a chest infection did it for you though. I know a few folk that, say, had flu and then found they were off the fags as they'd had a week or so forced abstinence.

Hehe. Feel free. :-)
Seems a bit drastic though.
It is a bit, but hey, since I had the horrible wheeze and complete inability to eat or breathe I thought I may as well. ;-) I have heard that it takes two days to break the nicotine addiction. The rest is habit and I honestly thought that was the hard bit to break but without the nicotine input that fell to pieces really quickly. I'd like to claim it was a struggle and that I was heroic but it wasn't and neither was I. ;-)
