Well okay it has been two months. No Cig's. Haven't killed anyone YET. Although the urge to kill is there, I don't want the hassle. So folks are safe, for now. Just don't mention cigarette taxes and the lack of liquor tax, school levies or anything to do with taxes, as increasing mine. I still feel all citizens of this country who quit should get a one time tax rebate, as other peoples kids got to go to school because of cigarette tax revenue. In fact there is an argument to use with your kids as why not to smoke- Smoking may fund schools. Worth a try. I do know that the world is a better place with a smoke free rob, but dammit I miss it. Even with the environmental positives. Even though I was always a responsible smoker and always put my cigarette out then threw it away, those little plastic filters no longer collect at the dump. I guess I am pretty glad about that, and no plastic cigarette wrapper or box, or foil paper. I guess cigarettes are pretty stupid when you think about it, from a tax revenue point to an evironmental point.

I'm not sure the urge ever goes away completely. My husband and I are smoke-free for several years now and just last night after a movie and dinner out he said, "This is one of those times I would really enjoy a cigarette."
Way to go, Rob! Just because something is "stupid" doesn't make it easy to give up. Glad you are succeeding in quitting as well as refraining from killing anyone.
Congrats on two months! You should be proud :)
Great job Rob
