Jenna - the big incentive for me to quit the dreaded weed was actually quite simple ..... I hated not being in control ! I would be in a meeting and all I could think of was when it was going to finish, so that I could escape and have some nicotine... when I realised that IT was in charge I rebelled and decided that I was the one who was going to decide what I did and when..... I used the patches to gradually wean myself off the nicotine - in a controlled manner - see how much store I set by *control* lol.....
I am surprised that a lot of people at your work still smoke - we only have one person now - out of 30 - and he is on a cigar at lunchtime (outside obviously).
Tiggs - I too can't abide the smell anymore but since the smoking ban in pubs, public places etc, it's been a lot easier.
