I've stopped smoking! It's not friggen easy either - I've stopped before I quit smoking for just over a year one time - and then again I quit for a 7 month period - WHY dis I start again? It was so easy to! I'd be out drinking or partying - thinking I could smoke one with my beer and my friends about... that lead to another that to another and so on - Needless to say I'm 32 and I've smoked for the majority of 22 years - SICK I know not to mention I grew up in a house with both parents smoking inside and in our cars with us!
SO - Here's something I found on a fellow Bloggers page since he's quitting too!
enjoy! I'll keep you posted... BTW - I'm on day 9 now just over 2 weeks! Wahoooooooo I'm a non smoker I think? We'll see!

non-smoking Jerrod's are hot!
I'm going to be the last social misfit left on the planet with a smouldering stubb hanging from my lip, aren't I?
Damn it - it was going to look so cool when I saved the world without ever putting my cigarette down.
On the other hand, you've made a good decision, and I wish you the best of luck. Just remember you're not just quitting smoking, you're getting your life back!
Thank you! And when you save the world and the smoke blows in my face I promise to not be that guy who's complaining about smoke in my face! Instead I'll be saying how impressive it was that you kept the smoke in place so smoothly!
Stevie's make me blush sometimes!
