never ever. the first and last ciggie I had was at age seven, offered by a drunk young adult. I knew I never liked it since that raining night with truck headlights in my eyes.

I get upset & sad (or grrr sometimes) when I smell smokes. I get bad skullaches and could throw up if I smell it for too long. even now, thinking about smoking, I feel sick. my sister started loving her ciggies when she was 14 and we lived under the same roof for three years -- I always begged her to lit the ciggie at least six houses away but she refused & never respected me. then stopped blowing in my face after I threw up on her bed once after I told her I would. (for my cats' sake too). now she's trying very hard to stop and I'm more than happy to support her all way.

I'll never forget one of our special night with three friends - what my smok-friends did, (the gross'est' solution & it worked for them) was fill a glass of water and leave it in a spot for seven days. put every ciggie you smoked until the seventh day. take out all ciggies with fork, leave the water, ciggy crumbs in!! and DRINK. I was there with them and said "just DO IT, a drink worth for life - you will not die." they did altogether on three. few minutes later, they threw up and one of them got sick for four days but they all never wanted to smoke ever again. I was surprised with how this has ended...has been almost over two years now, not a ciggie back in their hands.

maybe you gals/guys can try that...please be with your friends, you would need someone to be with you and support, comfort you after!

[the fact: average of how many times the smoker who tries to quit before the last day of its ciggie is eight time.]

there was a poster somewhere and I loved it. a picture of driver with ciggie in his mouth, asked his passenger.. "do you mind if I smoke?" the passenger said, "do you care if I die?"...

sorry this was/is another challenge for you, I wish you for a red lung very soon - all best luck to you!!
