you could write a 100 books about giving up smoking.
i smoked for 10 years gave it up in 1969 february 28 (still remember the day)
lots of good reasons to give up. you can afford the odd bet if you give up.
a pak a day is = (compounded) to a new house every 15 years.
fair incentive there.
third day was the worst (several 3rd days before i made it) chewed gum and ate lollies for about 2 months then broke completely.
its will power. e.g. I MUST NOT SmOKE.
surely we have the power within us to say no to somethings.
I recall John Belushi in Continental Divide when a bear ate all his cigarettes except 8 of them. he then rationed them out so they would last as long as possible. the lady in the movie suggested that he give up.
he said. "There hasnt been a day in my life when someone hasnt told me to give up smoking"
a wonderful line.
over to you puntz. its worth the supreme effort.
best wishes.
