Poll question: Should I smoke this last cigarette?
I'm not even a smoker but my neighborhood market guy convinced me to buy a buy one get one free deal the other day. My first pack only has one left. Should I smoke it right now or what?

1. You've gotta be kidding!
Stop before it becomes a habit, ya dork. (I'm couching this in such strong terms because I care about you. Now _stop it_. Also, I'm a smoker and smoking that first pack of cigarettes was the most stupid decision I ever made.)

2. I don't inhale either. if you can believe that
Oh, no danger of me being hooked. I'll stop these suckers when I'm done. I don't like them enough to ever be a smoker. Never have been an addictive person.

4. thanks for caring
So you can't quit? How long have you been smoking? I heard, honestly, that acupuncture works pretty well.

5. I hear ya' Heidi....
I used to smoke. When I first met my wife, she was an ex-smoker, but I was smoking at the time. One day, she came home with a pack of cigs and said that she wanted to smoke again because my smoking really made her want to. I threw my pack of cigs away, and hers too. Haven't touched one since in 13 years. I may be responsible for my bad habits, but I just couldn't be responsible for someone elses.

6. Good for you, Robeson!
My husband and I are quitting together this summer. And as 'bill suggested, I may try acupuncture, though I may not need it, as it's pretty easy for me to drop habits. (I smoke about half a pack a day, which is much, much less than I smoked when I was a journalist.)

:hug: Congrats on being smoke-free for 13 years!

7. You can do it. And if you're down to half a pack a day....
...you're almost there. You'll be surprised in that when you finally make that decision, you will probably never look back...:thumbsup:
