Thanks for the support there kiddo,
I've quit in the past and I know this too shall pass.... I'm not sure about
the second hand smoke thing, I believe it all depends on quantity of smoke
in that instance.
As for the chemo, you don't need to explain that one to me either, the wife
just got through with both reciently, (breast cancer) and I klnow more about
that than I ever wanted to....
The desire to smoke it still there and my button still gets pushed, but I
just don't have em handy so I don't smoke em....One day at a time....
I'm waiting to go see the IRS right now for an audit and a cig would taste
real good right now (G) I know i'm working myself up where it's not
necessary but heck, that's what makes life interesting.... (G)
