[Haunted]

Yeeeaaah, even around kids old enough to realize it smells bad and is unhealthy and are able to walk out of the room. They're still getting negative effects from the smoke. Even more so, it sets a really bad example for those kids even if they don't start until, say in their early twenties. That cig reminds them of mum, and therefore comfort and home. That's not quite (to put it very mildly), the message you want to send to your children.

I definitely agree with this one, because I grew up around smokers. Now I'm in the cycle, and can't get out. I know what Rayne means about the agony of quitting, but I want out. I'm really hoping that starting swimming is going to really boost my innitiative to stop.

I hoping the side of my brain that wants to be a top form really amatuer swimmer convinces that little but LOUD part of my brain that likes cigarettes, that swimming is a hell of a lot cooler than Camels. I absolutely love swimming, so that might just be the inspiration that I need. I swear that I'm crossing fingers, toes, and brain cells.:)
