Nothing else has worked...
but this might be the thing that makes me finally quit smoking.

My mother used to chant the following whenever one of my sisters or I lit up: "Tobacco is a filthy weed, that from the devil does proceed, stains your fingers, burns your clothes, and makes a chimney of your nose."

Since I don't have rug monsters of my own, I really don't know what it is about giving birth that turns you into the boss of me FOREVER AND EVER.

  4. Pardon me while I get preachy for a moment. I just have one question for you: Do you want cancer? Here's the answer: No. No, you don't. Take it from someone who knows. Even if you are treated successfully, you'll never be the same. I had it at 26, and nearly three years later, I'm still suffering the aftereffects. And I was one of the lucky ones.

    OK, preachy moment over now. I never smoked, but I personally think that weaning oneself of bad boys is much harder than kicking the nicotine habit. And bad boys are less dangerous to your physical health. Emotionally, not so much.
