good for you! Keep up the good work!
I never smoked at all, nothin', never.
One of my soldiers, had been smoking for over 20 years and he kept saying that he was going to quit. Finally he got orders to Colorado and decided that he had better quit or he'd never be able to run or ruck at higher altitudes. He got on the gum and even though he doesn't smoke now, he chews the HECK out of that nicotine gum. About a month after he quit, another soldier came in our office who is a heavier smoker. My guy almost fell out of his chair and backed off across the room. After the other guy left, he said "holy #$%^ did I smell like that?" I told him that some days I didn't even want to be in the same office with him. He said that smell was reason enough to never smoke again. I remember that he said that he could taste food again too. Coughing and hacking was pretty bad for him for about 2-3 months but had calmed down by the time he left for Colorado.
Hope it all goes well for you. Don't forget to clean your car, your coats, your house (if you smoked indoors) will probably need to be painted. You'll smell it all and won't like it...
NGH
