I smoked for 40 years, well maybe 36 or 37 if you count the other 6 quits. One lasting 2 1/2 years. It doesn't seem to matter how long you are not smoking, you must always be on your guard. I smoked 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day until 3 years ago. That was when I finally kicked myself outside to smoke and that helped me to cut down to about 18 a day. It was still a battle to keep the number down a bit and depended on those 18 just as much as I did the the pack or more. I remember one of the questions asked when quitting. "What are the things you associate with smoking" Are you kidding me????? Heck I couldn't even have a bath without a smoke. At least I couldn't do that outside. lol It's N.O.P.E for me now. Jo
