But I think it might help a newbie or two.... Why have I stopped? My Quit after 50 years means so many things here are a few.In no particular order. I am proud of me My wife is proud of me My grandchildren love it(My youngest used to call me Smokey Phil) My counsellor is proud of me My friends are stunned I have met all the wonderful people on this site and I am proud to know and love them. I can breathe better. I smile at people in the street and they smile back. I whistle when I am walking. I cant stop singing(pretty badly!) My car interior gleams and smells fresh I gleam and smell fresh! I have more money in my pocket for the good things in life. I am sure there are more.

I can't wait until it gets cold here. I will secretly be laughing at my co-workers standing out in that mess to get a fix! :eg:

Hey, Phil it was 50 years for me also. OMG what did we do with our bodies - time will tell. I quit because I was sick of it. I wanted to breath better and smell so good. I don't wake up in the middle of the night and go outside for a smoke. Believe it gets really cold here in the midwest in the winter ;p I like the freedom. That word is so presious. I am free to go and do what I want and not be controled by those things. Anyway I thought you were going on vaction. If you are have a great time.
