Great thread Rob :) I found this 2day:
[b]We found that the absolute annual burden from tobacco use was highest for the United States at 514,000 deaths per year in 2000, which is equivalent to the impact of an 9/11 type terrorist attack every 2.1 days[/b]

Keep up the good quit and remember the difficulties you face resolve themselves as you advance.

Rob...
That was me too. My social circle didn't smoke either. I'm so glad I quit. I do a lot more with my friends now and it is rewarding in itself.

hey your junkie has been talking to my junkie!!
I've had each one of those thoughts and, in the past, have succumbed so some of them. Not any more. I rule what I do, not the nicodemon.
Thanks for the great reminders of what to tell the junkie when he comes begging.
