The thing I always wonder about is this: do the people who lecture us really think they're offering any arguments we haven't heard before? Do they think the idea that smoking is really really horrible and bad for us and can kill us in terrible ways is some kind of new revelation? And do they actually think that nagging has ever worked for anyone, anywhere?

(It got to the point where I had to tell my mother that I was going to have three additional cigarettes that I wouldn't otherwise have smoked so quickly for every time that she brought it up. :evilgrin:)

I'd like to quit, sure. I'm very skeptical about my ability to do so, especially since my partner, whom I live with is, is also an unrepentant smoker. We'll have to quit together or neither of us will succeed, that's just how it is. And he's younger than me and isn't feeling the effects yet as much as I'm starting to.

(When I know it's time, I'm hoping to bribe/inspire us with a trip to the Mediterranean with the money we'll save! He's a big geek for boats and history.)
