NOPE!! Boothbay Harbor, Maine Belfast, Maine

@Reciprocity Ohh yeah that plane was very old!! I think they did away with smoking on planes back in the late 80, maybe early 90s. I know they banned smoking in offices here in the States back around 87/88. @DenaliBlues I know it smelled so bad but we did it anyway. One job that I had there was a smoking room and it smelled so bad in there that it was so nauseating. After that we had to go outside to smoke which actually was better than that room. But, I'm totally glad I don't need to find a place now.

Hi @Asphodelian Welcome! You have made the right decision and have come to the right place to get support. None of us will sugar coat quitting and say it's easy, because it certainly isn't at all, it's very difficult, but it's totally doable. The great thing about quitting besides all the health benefits, is that with each passing day the urges will get less and less until one day you will wake up with no urges and not even think about smoking. The beginning months are tough so try and come on here as often as you can and read all the information and vent to us whenever you need it, there is always someone around. I think if it wasn't for the people on this group, I wouldn't have been able to quit. They really helped me a lot and we will help you too. Good luck!!

How about the time they had smoking on planes, way back in the day! I am dating myself for sure...LOL!! It was so stupid though because right in front of the first row of smoking was the last seat in non smoking and it made no sense. Although I think some of the planes had a whole section but there was no ventilation and the smoke made it's way into the cabins in front. Yeah trying to find a place to smoke was always on my mind. If I couldn't smoke for hours, I would be climbing the walls. I am so thankful that I don't have to worry about that anymore!

LOL! I have been on a boat on Lake Champlain last year when we were in Burlington, VT. Very nice lake and city. They told us all about Champ! It started getting hot and humid again here as well but I think by the end of the week it's supposed to cool down. Summer is really trying to hang on.

Hi @I can do it Welcome!! Not sure, but if you have any cigarettes in the house, you have to get rid of them! That is a must, you cannot have any temptations around. Quitting smoking is definitely not easy as we all know, but it's totally doable! The good thing is, the longer you stay without a cigarette, the less of an urge you will get. I promise those horrible urges go away in time. What I used for the first couple of months was to take a cinnamon stick and pretend it's a cigarette. I would suck in the air and make believe that I was smoking, plus the cinnamon flavor tasted really nice. If you don't like cinnamon, use cut up straws. Also, drink lots of water and eat healthy foods. Come on this board a lot because you will get amazing support and help from the people on here. I don't think I could have gotten through the early months of my quit without them. In the 15 months that I have been quit, I made a lot of nice friends on here. So please stick around when you get those cravings! Good luck to you!

Congratulations! 8 years is amazing!! All the best to you!!
