Smoking
We know how it goes. You gotta have your pack of cigarettes and lighter everywhere you go. Gotta get one the moment you wake up. Gotta get one more on your way to work. Gotta smoke every chance they give you and then have one for the ride home. Don't have one, bum one! Smoke one and that still is not enough! And don't even mention after you eat or have a little to drink! Generally everything is going great in my life. Why do I need a cigarette? This is a very good question that I want to address on this page of my website. -Tana 4:43pmCST 02/08/2003
If you are sure you are ready to quit, don't keep a pack of cigarettes on you. This does not mean bum a cigarette from someone else when you have a craving. Cravings for a cigarette are said to only last about 30 seconds. Find something else to fill that time that you would have smoked. The craving will pass. Your lungs will thank you, not to mention your pocket book. Save the money that you normally would have spent on cigarettes and go by something you really want! -Tana 4:59pm CST 02/08/2003

I quit smoking again at the end of June 2003. I returned home from my vacation to London on June 23, 2003 and decided that the pack of cigarettes I had bought for about eight U.S. Dollars in the London Underground (the Underground is London's subway system) would be my last. I understood now that I must prioritize what I spend my money on. I do not want to harm myself anymore.. Today is 07/22/2003 and I feel healthier. On July 14, 2003 when I had a checkup done, they confirmed I was in good shape. Right now this update is more for me, so I can justify why I quit and to help me from starting back up again. I hope you quit too, for your sake as well as for your family and friends'.

2. The plain and simple truth is, I just cannot afford to smoke. It is not an expense that should have never been on my list of priorities.Now to quit smoking became one of my top priorities.
3. I love to cycle and skate. I love to sing in the car. I love talking without struggling. I love breathing under my own power. I love my family and friends. I love life. I love feeling healthy. What more can I say!
4. I don't want the smell of smoke in my house or car. This is why I smoke in the freezing cold weather outside and still try to keep the smoke from hitting me! To no avail I return from outside only to smell like cigarette smoke. Unbelievable, but it's my fault. Only I can change what I do and who I am.
Well that's enough for right now, I gotta go out and have a cigarette! lol.
