Congrats!

You know, if you were smoking manually....you'd be able to quit faster!?!

Seriously though, though I've never smoked, I've been around enough people to know what a challenge it is.

Back in 1981, for a graduation gift, I went on a canoeing trip in the 1000's lakes area of Minnesota/Canada. I went with 6 people, and we were not allowed to bring cigarettes into the area. One of the people was a heavy smoker and had to go cold-turkey.

On day 3, I was steering in the back of the canoe and this guy was up front. He had a nic-fit of epic proproportions. He ended up paddling across the lake at full speed, practically planing the canoe while I ended up just steering and watching him in amazement. After about 8-10 minutes of this, he ended up collapsing in fatigue and couldn't do anything the rest of the day.
