Hi, @merpreb and @contentandwell -You've both talked about quitting smoking before. Just wanted to check in with you and see how it's been going for you lately. Are you finding it to be challenging at this point to stay away from cigarettes? Easy?

@lisalucier I quit smoking on New Year's Eve, 1979, when I was pregnant with my son. I always said I would quit if I got pregnant and I did. When my son was younger he always took credit for me quitting. I still had a slight craving for them for a long time but not anymore. I read somewhere that it is more difficult for women to quit smoking because women actually like it more!
I know that both of my kids smoked occasionally when they were in HS but that was a social thing and neither did it enough to get addicted. Sometimes when they brought friends home I would cringe because some of their friends reeked of cigarette smoke.
With the price of cigarettes these days I am glad I no longer do smoke.
