Brent,
M*A*S*H* ... one of my very favorite movies and the TV show wasn't bad either!
I don't know if many recall that the song, "Suicide is Painless", from the movie, the theme played on the TV show, has lyrics.
The irony of it is that suicide is NOT painless. Smoking is suicide.. usually very slow suicide. At the beginning it is painless as most new smokers don't suffer at all... and most do not for many, many years. Ah, but it is then that the devil calls his hand and the poor smoker, now feeling trapped and helpless by his addiction, falls prey to illness. So much for the painless part.
"Suicide is painless,
it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I choose"
We, as quitters, have made the choice to stop the suicide. It's all a matter of choice.
