John,
LOL, Nice post. Screw the weight gain. That can be curved with some effort. Its the dam smoking that will get ya in the end IF NOT SOONER! Na, I dont buy it. Ask yourself whats harder, quiting smoking, or taking off 30,40 pounds? Its a no brainer. Besides, its harder to treat lung cancer, heart problems, mouth cancer and so on, than it is to treat obesity. Hell, I went through the worst time of my life with this quit. Nothing in my life was harder, nothing. But with some ba..s and some willpower and with help, anyone can do it. As for the extra pounds, well, use that as a tool for ur quit. I mean that. Who cares about some extra fat when you have a fight of your life on your hands already? Na, eat the big mac whem you have an attack, better than the needle in the lung for the biopsy..
Keep on trucking my friend!
