I was reading the Chronicle article about how Rudy T is planning on quitting smoking this summer, he says his days of smoking and boozing are over. Good for Rudy, I thought, but the one thing smokers need when they are quitting is support. I quit on November 15, 1999, and havent had a drag since. And if anyone uses the "I only smoke when I drink" excuse, you are lying to yourself. I am not one of those preachers who quits smoking then tells everyone not to do it. I go out with my friends now, and they all light up, and it doesnt bother me. (I still smoke in my dreams, though, which is kind of satisfying) So I will be supporting Rudy's decision, and I will be right with him in the battle against nicotine cravings. Anyway, did anyone know that cigarettes cost $4.75 a pack in NYC, sometimes higher?! THat was the number TWO reason I quit. ------------------ "Playing with Steve makes my job so much easier, "He's such a complete player. He has some great moves and shoots from the outside and in the post. We communicate well on the floor." - Hakeem Olajuwon "It's great to have that inside-outside balance," Francis said. "We've tried to get that all season, with Hakeem and me clicking at the same time.
I quit after about 3.5 years sometime around January of 1999. I do smoke cigars occasionally now though but feel no need to smoke a cigarette ever again. If you smoke, you should quit, you will feel better about yourself. ------------------ Haha.. you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well know is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
I could quit, I just don't want to. I started out a a social smoker i.e. when I drink. but, right now I'm at about 2/3 pack a day, maybe a little less. But, whne my parents are visiting, I never smoke around them. I could go a few days w/o smoking if I had to/want to. I'll prolly quit when I get married. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around."

BAD: When you smoke, you stink. Your breath smells. Your lungs turn black. Your fingers turn yellow. Your heart grows weaker. You take years off your life. And smokers have higher rates of almost anything bad you can think of, from stroke to impotence. GOOD: A nicotine rush feels good. Uhhhh... you uhhhh look cool....? It's pretty easy to come up with reason(s) to quit. Congrats to you, 110th. ------------------ BK: "Hey coach, great season. Thanks!" Rudy: "Thanks guys, appreciate the support." This really happened.
