The strange world of the non-smoker

[Alexander's Horse]

I have started another attempt to give up smoking after a recent brush with cancer.

You non smokers live in a strange world of vivid sensations.

So far my cardio-vascular system seems to be having the most fun with it, enjoying the holiday from all the junk it had to pump around.

I wish you the best in your endeavor.

I can't imagine breaking a nicotine addiction is easy.

I've tried and failed several times but luckily I didn't pick up the nasty habit until I was 27. Best of luck.

Sure. You've always been a great guy and entertaining poster. I'm glad to hear about your progress.

Also, I'm glad to be a source of inspiration. Such blood flow matters at any age.

I broke free of nicotine on the 22nd of September 2012, after several failed attempts. The feeling is great.

You can do it.

Don't think of a cigarette as a reward, but rather as a punishment.

I quit smoking tobacco in the mid '80s - my dad had died of cancer. I'm a social pot smoker, though I haven't had any this year. Not smoking in Canada is fairly easy as most provinces and municipalities have draconian smoking laws - bars, clubs, restaurants, venues etc. are all non-smoking.

Every time you want a smoke, have a shot of whiskey instead.

Most doctors believe that 25% of all cancer cases would not have happened if people stopped smoking and drinking. I'll settle for 12.5%.

ya, everything in moderation was my philosophy
