Borzou, my name is Mike and I'm a smoke-aholic.

Forget this politics stuff. Your successfully quitting smoking is much more important. :-)

I smoked for 7 years. Up to 2 packs a day at one time. Quit cold turkey one day. My humble advise....

1. Tell everyone you know that you have quit.
2. Put a rubber band around your wrist and whenever you feel the urge to smoke snap it. This will associate a little pain with the want of tar.
3. Clean your car, work, home of any cigarettes, butts, ashtrays and such. Dig deep for the evidence. When you really want one, you can be an amazing searcher. :-)
4. Give yourself the 3 bucks a day you would have spent on smokes.
5. Exercise more than you normally do. Visualize your body cleaning out all that gunk from your system while you sweat away.
6. Avoid bars and places where second hand smoke is prevalant.

Above all, realize that it will take at least 3 weeks before your immediate cravings ease off and then a year before you go without thinking about smoking.

It's not easy though bud, as I'm sure you know.

Best of luck,

Michael (11 years without a cig) Cummings :-)
