Hi Bill - David is right - you don't want to have to quit while going thru radiation where they tie your body down on a slab and put a mask over your head so that you are immobile for what seems an eternity. Something Colleen said reminded me of a strategy I read about from a former smoker: "Hang on for five minutes and the out-of-control urge will pass". And do that whenever the urge attacks. (once a day, etc.) Maybe during those five minutes you can get on the computer and talk to us! Sounds like you've already taken the first steps in informing yourself and that's great! Please keep us posted.
