Tim, Thats really great. It seems like getting over that initial period of quitting is the toughest. I am sooooooooooooooo proud of ALL you ex-smokers. I am still hooked on them The devil's got me good! I wouldn't take you for a smoker Mary. Looks like we all have at one point in our lives. Yep, my horrible, horrible vice. A lot of people do not know, so guess you could call me a closet smoker.

No it doesn't Betty. But thats our govt for you- LOL wonder why though..were they going through your dirty laundry? We wondered the same thing. I guess regulations is regulations!! So is it safe to assume you had to pay an armand aleg for the shipping? No! Didn't have to pay a thing. Customs put it on a flight to our local airport and then they put the bag in a cab and delivered it to us. Imagine that..

Mary, do you have a Rx plan? Not right now, but will in Jan. hopefully, but I do not think that my plan pays for stop smoking medicine, at least, when I checked into it before they didn't.

Mary ask your doctor if he can help with the med. Mine was going to give me the first 28 day kit until I said that I had a good Rx plan.

I went 10 yrs the 1st time till I found out my wife was cheating on me I figured if I could make it through my husbands illness and death and everything that followed that I was pretty safe from starting up again.

I so admire you cold turkey people! Bernie quit that way many many years ago and I NEVER would smoke around him and always brushed my teeth and gargled and sprayed my clothes so he would not have to smell it. I was sooooooooooo very proud of him and he smoked 2 packs a day!!!!!! Now when I tried to quit.....I turned into the worst Bit** alive....Bernie actually went out and bought me a pack and shoved them at me and told me to smoke the damn things so that I would be nice again.....

There is a place here called QIUTIOWA and I think you can get free quit aids there. I just saw it on the TV. I was planning on checking it out. Thanks
