So before I read this thread, what I have done is went outside and smoked one last cigarette. I even took a picture of it per Scotts request. I am on here alot so your continued support will be asked, by me, of you. I had a pack with 10 smokes in it. As I was on the phone with Scott, I ripped up 9 of the cigs and kept the one in the pic. So here goes. My quit smoking campaign. I am one irritated dude when I want a smoke. I smoked for 8 yrs from 17 to 25, and quit cold turkey on my 25th b-day and then foolishly started back 9 yrs later when I was 34 and have been going for 4 yrs and I am now 38. I'll be 39 next month on the 10th. It's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much harder to quit the second time. I owe it to my lovely wife Bonnie and my two kids James 15, and Rebecca 12 to stop. So guys, you got my attention and I will DO my best. I have allways told my kids "Never, TRY to do anything, but DO it", time to practice what I preach.

Besides, you'll be amazed at how good food tastes when your tongue works again, and you won't have that "I just drank water from an ashtray" taste in your mouth every morning.

the simple math part is not completely true. I know plenty of non-smokers who died early. a better example would be

Smoke = live unhealthy
no smoke = live healthy

tho I completely agree with you on the taste part.
