>>>I guess when you got back home you gave up the "no smoking" policy? No anti-smoking mobs there yet? :o) I'm working on the opposite (again). Not gonna say how long - don't want to jinx myself. I read an article last week that stated San Francisco is now studying 3rd hand smoke and the health damages of it.... I was going to add a smart comment just now, but I'll leave it up to you :o)

>I have a problem getting over the couple a day habit. With no smoking indoors (that includes my own home) or in cars or in public, I get to the once or twice a day mode and just stay there. Then when I quite completely, I go a long time until once again I jump back to that once or twice a day mode again after some stressful situation usually. I've always been on the treadmill or in exercise classes or something. When work gets really hectic (and it has been lately), the exercise level drops off and that is what has to change for me. This time I've actually joined a stop smoking group "quit for life." We'll see. Right now they are annoying me with endless phone calls and emails of support :o) They always seem to call me when I am on the treadmill. That's ok, but they probably think I'm avoiding their calls when that happens :o)

Yeah the danger is much higher if you don't have time for the gym, track or dojo. Body needs a certain bit of ab/overuse.
I cannot stay at the 1-2 level - it is either all in or none with me. I could wait until 10 or 11 for the first one,
which is really welcome, and then the dam is broken. Or as we said after sports : "I'm a guy who will just drink two beers. But after these two beers I am a totally different fellow, and this guy knows no limits"

Has sometimes good aspects, I just have to watch me...
