I want to finish as fast as possible and get out

You remind me of me back in my smoking days. I have a sister who won't fly because she can't smoke.

my kid has same problem , cannot stop smoking. tried everything. i feel bad for him. i quit for year and went back within week i was smoking two or more packs a day.. finally after another year i bet a guy a case of booze and first person who lit up lost. i won but let him off the hook. I would never go back now. been a very long time since i stopped but still love the smell of a cig. g

ps food and booze places have not been hurt by non smoking. I heard on the radio a few days ago that business is up in places with non smokers returning.

i wonder if the pubs in Ireland are selling less booze now with no smoking?

I won't even go into a place that has a lot of cigarette smoke, unless I am desperate, and leave immediately as soon as I've done what I need to do.

A few days ago during a heavy snow, temperature in the teens, I drove past an office building and saw a woman standing outside with snow falling onto her bare head, shivering, sucking down her "fix."
