Greetings NOPErs .... today (yes its still today down under, well in some of the states) is Cappuccino Day.... so in my corner of the Australia we call a cappuccino a Cap... but on the trendier side of the Yarra they call it a Chino... there is much debate about the origins of the humble cappuccino... was it, as the Italian's claim, named for the Capuchin Friars in honor of Brother Marco d'Aviano who rallied the outnumbered Christian troops in a beseiged Vienna to fight back and defeat the invading Ottoman Turk army in 1683... the story is after the routing the captured some Turkish coffee... found it to be bitter so added milk and honey and named it in d'Aviano's honor.... then there are the Austrians who claim that the cappuccino originated in the 1700's in the Kapuziner coffee houses, Kapuziner contained coffee, milk, sugar and sometimes spices were added... What is known is that the cappuccino as we know it, with its frothy top and crema originated in Italy in the 1900's and gained global recognition in the 1930's and with post WW2 imigration. So weather you drink a cap today to celebrate, of take a pic and post it with a #cappuccinoday or even just watch some you tube videos of barista artistes at work..... enjoy and NOPE.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
