40 days, 800 cigs not smoked, $120 saved, when does it get easier?

Current Mood: Surprised

Some days I still feel like my quit is such a fragile thing. It’s so easy for me to think to myself, just buy a pack and then quit again, you know you can do that.

What I don’t know that I can do is, NOT buy a pack and NOT have to quit again.

That’s what I want.

Experts debate whether children should be called obese
