Must be Hawaii, based on your flight time estimate. Duck if you hear a nuke coming And yes! My first long haul flight was a pleasure not having to deal with the anxiousness over not having a smoke

^^^ I agree Octain! I was never a "social media" person before I quit smoking but I have found being able to communicate with others who KNOW what I'm going through has been an important tool in my own quit. That was totally unexpected to me when I first quit. And I think in most people's experience, family and friends will expect you to be totally over everything within a couple of weeks, which we here all know is not even close to reality. In my mind, that's when your connection to people here becomes even more important because we know you will need periodic direction and support for quite some time, even after the days of strong urges to smoke have largely faded. Stick around - help others and help yourself and you will benefit from it

NOPE!
