I haven't had a cigarette for 21 years...and smoked only a pack a week max.

And I STILL miss it...but I promised I wouldn't smoke ever again...

You'd think I would have never begun after watching my dad die on the kitchen floor of a heart attack when I was 17 and having my mom die of lung cancer when I was 20. My older sis just died of a heart attack after resuming smoking...

But wisdom isn't easy to come by, I guess...

My advice would be to get off of the cancer sticks. Try this: find photos of rotted, diseased lungs. Imagine them inside of your ribcage. Think of what the effects of dying of a tobacco-induced disease will do to those who love you.
cigarette smoking is a very difficult addiction to kick, but well worth it...especially for our loved ones!!
