I can totally understand GF....there is a post in Good Posts that deals with this...I will try to find it for you.Meanwhile, don't look at them with envy,but with pity..Those poor people,killing themselves slowly.They are not gaining anything, smoking will not help you in any way,it is not your friend..It is so hard in the beginning to retrain your brain into thinking like a non-smoker. You have a GREAT quit going..stay strong.We are here for you.

I can relate too. My oldest son smokes and he does it outside in our backyard. If I have to it smell sometimes it makes me nauseous and other times I want to join him. I just keep telling myself I'm adding time to my life as well as quality.

deb- Where do I find this Good Posts thread. Have never been able to find it. Am I blind or just duh?

Hi

In any profile here check the groups they belong.

Since I was ready to quit, thank God, it was already stinky to me. Last week I went out, when I reached my car, it stunk like burning,, I looked and saw some people smoking.
