    Congrats and good luck. Your next jar can be used for hand-sewn kilt!

    McC the program you have sounds very interesting, can I get the name of it?
    I believe that Mark Twain once said that "giving up smoking is one of the easiest things to do, I have done it many times!"

    There isn't a name I can give to the programme - I guess it can work in different ways with different folks but is based on achieving something you have wanted for a long time where one's money is better spent on something that has a lasting value in one's life rather than something that ends up in an ash tray. In my case it just happened to be Freemasonry but there are about three members of my Lodge who smoke which they have to do outside, not because Freemasonry dictates that they must, but because of the Government legislation banning smoking inside any building, even of a private nature, where people gather in a public or semi public way.

    Well said Samuel... and McC.
    I have several friends/acquaintances complain about being poor, yet smoke a pac a day and 2-4 nights a week in the pub. Please... you blow a nice car payment every month.

    Congratulations on quitting. I quit 6 years ago on the urging of my 3yo daughter after my last cardiac incident. We bought a camper with the money saved and still had left over. And my chronic sinus infections dropped off the map, first time they were clear since I was 17. YMMV but the benefits outweigh the difficulty in quitting.
    So, ruck up and drive on. Good luck.
