But not anymore and this is just one of many rewards for not smoking I just love being a non-smoker. Viv

Good grief Viv, I wondered for a moment there, just what scintillating morsel of intimate information you were about to share with us. LOL

Isn't it wonderful when we notice these little benefits? It's even more wonderful when others notice...like today, a friend who I hadn't seen in a few weeks, asked what I had done to my face as my skin looked so "bright and clear"....the compliment saw me floating on air.

Some are sicker than others.I guess I'll have to check mine out.I do notice my hands have a better color to them since I quit.
