Congrats on quitting. Stick to it.

I too tried everything to stop smoking. Pills, patches, hypnosis, when I woke up from the surgery and they told me it was cancer, I never touched another. That was just about three years ago and I have not had one and have absolutely no desire to ever have one.

To be honest, When I think of all the damage it causes people I cant believe that it is legal.

And, after what I went through I can get pretty nasty with people that smoke in front of me. I never thought I would be that guy.

I was standing in line to get my drivers license renewed the other day and their was a guy right in front of me (line was out the door) lighting one up after another. I told him to stop and swiftly got a lecture on how it was his right to smoke in public. Then I got a manager and told them I was a cancer survivor, smoking was the cause, and that he was putting me in danger by smoking in front of me.

I might have said something about hearing from my lawyer as well. At that point I was moved to the front of the line.

Glad to hear you quit. It
