Did he know you were quitting? Bit of a dick move there on his part, if so.
Quiting smoking.

Yeah, but he can't go 20 minutes without one. It didn't make me crave them, that's for sure.
Its still too early to say, but I'd like to imagine I got this kicked now. I've been around cigarettes and have note bummed one, I've been drinking without smoking one (though I did puff on a cigar), I've gone through two prolonged outages/downtime/issues on the site without smoking one (aka STRESS), and just generally have not wanted one.
My brother quit smoking a 3 years ago. He got to the point of smoking a pack a day so he made up his mind to quit. This was the second he was quitting. The first time around it was about 8 years ago and he went cold turkey. Then two years later he bounced back. So this time around instead of going cold turkey he gradually smoked less and less until he got it down to a cigarette a day, then half a cigarette and finally nothing. After that he gained some weight and the first two weeks after quitting were kind of painful for him, but 3 years later he is happier than ever. Smoking sucks, I can't stand the smoke, the smell and the dirt and misery that cigarettes bring, not to mention the health implications. You're better off eating chocolate when you crave a cigarette ;-)

Sweet, GJ accountabilibuddy! Drinking without smoking... What a foreign concept, I'll have to learn to wrap my head around that one..
Great job to those who quit! I imagine it wasn't easy. I've never smoked and don't plan on it.
Here is a horrible video for you though; but won't really put anyone off I expect.

Good job! Have a Celebratory Cig!
Congrats to all the quitters! January 11 will be my 3 year anniversary of not smoking anything at all. Quit cold turkey and never looked back or made any exceptions. No cigars or ecigs or hookah. I used to smoke more than a pack a day for 10+ years and I knew it was destroying my health so I had to quit.

My close friend used to smoke. And so he did for many years. On his birthday I bought him an e-cig with 18mg nicotine liquids. Then he decided to use 11mg, then 6mg and finally 0mg. After some time he stopped smoking completely. At least for him, it worked well.
I went out to the bar last night to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. The day before Thanksgiving everyone who is from here but lives out of town is in town, thus there are tons of people out and about. Lot of old faces I've not seen since last year and all around a good time was had.
Despite not really wanting one, I sparked up a cig. I think I smoked half of it and put it out.
Was tempted and didn't like it. I'm still considering the 4th of November my 'quit' date

Smoking and drinking go together like bread and butter, it will be a tough habit to break, especially since the more you drink the more likely it is that you'll break down and have a smoke.I'm on day 12 without having a puff, this is further then I've ever come before so I'm going to do my best to keep on track.
Meh. One cigarette in 23 days ain't bad. I don't want one now and that further proved I didn't want one, else I'd have finished it or smoked it without any sort of guilt.
You can smoke in bars here in Indiana, at least in my town. It was crazy wall-to-wall packed, I'm sure the second hand smoke in that place alone was the same as me smoking half a pack.

That's lucky, you must be one of the few states left. FL had it outlawed, and of course it's not allowed in Canada... I guess I don't have to worry about that now, not that I really like going to bars in the first place. I'd like to try the E-cig but I don't want spend a ton of money and I'm not sure the wife would approve =/
