1. Don't worry, the first million years are the toughest.
After that it starts to get easier!

4. As long as I kept counting...
... I was still a smoker trying to quit.

When I stopped counting I became a non-smoker, because non-smokers don't keep tabs on how many non-smoking minutes they've chalked up.

Free yourself! Stop counting!

5. Yes you can!
My dad gave it up at the age of 55 after having started at the age of 13. Every time he craved a cigarette he put the equivalent cash value in a jar. After a year he made a downpayment on a car.

Good for you for quitting!

10. it can be done....
but my lazy-assed excuse for falling off the tobacco wagon is:

"dick cheney got me back on the tobacco."

and in a sense, it's pretty fucking true. i started back up the week of the election.

cheers & good luck!
