There were some years which were especially stressful when I craved one, but I didn’t light up. I haven’t had the urge to smoke for a long time. I’m glad I quit, both for the benefit of my health and my pocketbook.

However, all I need to do is smell one up close indoors and I feel nauseous. I still take it one day at a time. The urge never leaves me.

You’ll get it at the library, it’s easy and quick and I’ve given it to other ex smokers here in my library and they felt relieved after reading it.

Mind you though, some days you’re just in the mood of an aul dark yearning. Hugs, x

I’ve a co-worker who has given them up, though it’s been for short enough a time that he still keeps track. Used the imposition of a new tax on them here in Colorado to get started, and doesn’t look back.

He said he’s fallen off the wagon once or twice, but has yet to buy another pack, which is half the battle.
