I'm sure even you smokers would agree, this is not a habit you want
to pass along to the kids. >>
Especially with the recently-announced price hikes from the manufacturers.
But cost aside, Bryant's right. It's just not easy to quit. But I found a
way. First,
I became a Scouter and, second, I went to Philmont this past summer. Trying
to smoke out of the boys' sight was tough enough on campouts, but there was
no way I was going to carry two cartons of cigarettes into the back country of
New Mexico. Cold turkey isn't the same as yesterday's leftover turkey, but it
was effective; haven't touched a cigarette in four months. And I found out
that
I don't need one with a cup of coffee, either.
