Who is pork in the picture?

Interesting.  I guess the health-scare campaigns do work on some level.  That's in spite of the fact that when I was a smoker I actively avoided those commercials.  I would change the channel or if others were in the room I would make abrupt small talk when those ads came on.  "How 'bout this weather were having?"  "Who do you like in the game this weekend?"

 

I knew enough to know I didn't want to know more.

The health scare stuff worked for me in the end!  It got to a point that every time I smoked I thought about how I was killing myself. Another thing I think works is the ban on smoking every where indoors. I was so thankful when I first quit that I did not have to be around smokers every where.

Bakon - the lady is pork. Are you disappointed?

That's exactly what I was like. Ignoring the adverts, closing my ears but secretly hating myself every time I put a cigarette in mouth. I just spent a week away with the family and it was wonderful not feeling like I needed to go outside all the time for a cig. Not spending my evening outside of the fun or in the outskirts because I couldn't stray far from the door. Lovely. Now if I could just shift the extra lbs..... (And the extra extra ones I had before I quit!)
