Good for you, Ambrose. You made the right choice.

Now the bad news: Prepare for The Corporation to expand. It's typical after one quits smoking. But there are things you can do.

One is to keep a lot of low-fat snacks around. Toss out the chips and cookies. I recommend wasabi peas ... but only 'cause I like them; I've never quit smoking, myself.

Start getting some exercise. That'll get air into your lungs and stop you thinking about snacking.

And most importantly: get yourself a MacQuarrie 8-yard tank. I don't know why, but MacQuarrie is the preferred tartan for guys wishing to turn their lives around.

Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes.

(BTW, I was kidding about the MacQuarrie. The preferred tartan is really MacIntyre.)
