It was after quitting smoking, I realized how addiction had turned me into a spoiled brat. I indulged myself completely, I smoked anytime and anywhere possible. My most shameful example was after a home birth, my brand new daughter, alive and healthy, was being walked around by her father and I said to my midwifes, 'man, after 9 months and the last 12 hours, I NEED A SMOKE'. One of my midwifes asked, 'Really ?' 'Yes yes yes yes yes YES, I want a smoke !" She handed me a non filtered cigarette from the pack she had hidden in her jacket and that was the end of that abstinence for 29 years ! I call it 'abstinence' because I never ever wanted to quit and only quit smokes and drinks 'temporarily' for pregnancy. That was really Big of me, huh ? I didn't give a hoot about second hand smoke and that was worse than just acting the spoiled brat. Second hand smoke does actual HARM to people, animals and plants. Smoking is suicidal, homicidal, herbicidal, biocidal all the cidal-s you can think of and continues to make the tobacco companies rich beyond measure Gah! I am elated to not be lining those evil pockets anymore glad also, to not be 'cidal' anything. and one more thing... My Spoiled Brat also made quitting harder. 'This is too hard' the brat would moan 'I don't want to !' the brat would whine 'Why Are You Denying Yourself ? ' The Brat cajoled and wheedled until I simply had no other choice, I killed the Spoiled Brat. Killed Dead. Spoiled Brat-icide. Hah ! If you are thinking about quitting, Know You Can. You don't have to be the spoiled brat that addiction turns us into or, a slave to nicotine anymore. You Can Quit.

Hi all! I fear I'm becoming one of THOSE ex-smokers. My neighbor is home all day and smokes inside. We live in 4-row apartments that are 50s era. I can't believe smoke would come through any outlets or the walls, and yet I know some second hand smoke is getting inside my place even when all my windows are closed. I can sense the very faint odor of second hand smoke even though I'm not "trying" to smell any. Worse than the very faint smell, I can feel a sting in my eye. This is how it was growing up in a smoker's house, just not as pronounced as it was back then. Am I crazy? Are these withdrawals? Can smoke go through sheetrock? I bought an air purifier cuz I am sick of it...especially now while working at home. Will unpack it tomorrow.
