Shameless plea for ego-stroking - "Woo for me!"
I smoked my last cigarette one year ago today, and I've been feeling mighty chuffed with myself all day.

12. Aw, thanks!
I always swore that I would never be one of those horrible born-again non-smokers. I'm pleased to be rid of it, but I have no problem with other people enjoying it.

Enjoy it while it's legal.

13. I keep it down...
... to 2-3 cigs a day. If it gets past that (except at the very occasional party) I'm done :)

My brother and his wife are quitting on Jan 1. Wish them luck :)

15. I used to smoke c. 25 a day - about ten times as much!
Good luck to your brother and his wife - it's good to quit in pairs. Moral support and that. Mrs Taxloss quit one month after me, seeing my progress, and she's still off them as well.

19. Congrats!
"Chuffed" -- now that's a word we don't see around here enough. Talk about onomatopoeia! :D

Keep up the good work. Here's a fun toy I've been playing with for the last 16 months:

24. Bravo!
As one who's never been able to quit for longer than three months, I applaud you!

Here's hoping you stay off 'em for good. :toast:
