Ed,

I gave up smokes on Sept 1st, 2004, 10AM after deciding I refuse to pay
$8/day for a two pack a day habit. Have saved $11,000.15 as of this moment. I
essentially quit for financial reasons.

I can smell the noxious odor of cig smoke 50' away.

Met my boss for lunch and he asked me if I'd quit smoking and I said I had
and why he'd asked and he replied I didn't smell it. Who knew I stunk?!?
Nobody told me!

Repainted the tar & nicotine brown stained interior of my house. What a
difference.

I only nag my #1 Bud to quit but he's a lost cause and chain smokes like a
chimney. Choked me out at the family reunion. The BUM!!!
