Try and rub some Garlic on the end of the butt say 20 of them before she light one up, because this will make it taste really funny because I did this joke on father and he realise he was complaining about his smoking problem.

Suddenly his got the sh*ts and starting getting a new packet and I rub some Garlic again the whole packet on the end of the butt, WARNING! you have to make sure the Garlic is dry on the end of the butt before she light up otherwise she could smell the Garlic very easy.........On the other hand I'm thinking about rubbing some chili on the end of the butt before she light up you know what this means

Right, you probable will lapse back, but just start over again. I did it three times then I was free.
That was in 1964 , first time I learned about the bad side of smoking tabacco.

Christ, I would be dead that afternoon if I smoked that many in one day. At any rate, his points and observations are accurate concerning smoking. Currently I have read through the smoking myths concerning stress and boredom. It is an excellent book and I will follow his instructions to the letter and quit when I get to the chapter that the author states is the time to drop the poison sticks. At this point, I think I could put them down for good after reading 70 some odd pages. Thanks for the recommendation McBeck. PS, my wife is reading the book also so we can kind of be a support group for each other.
Great! I hope it works for you and your wife a good as it worked for us

Today she started questioning me about getting over the pangs of quiting. I was however standing in the shower at the time. I'm a bit ahead of her in the book. I told her I have not read that far. So, we are already talking about it and being a support to one another. I think she will be a tougher nut to crack in stopping the smoking only because she is excellent at finding what she thinks is a legitimate excuse to smoke. Once I stop and request she takes the smokes outside she will probably stop.

The thing to remember is that even if she fails at quitting that doesn't mean you have to as well.

Of course it's like him, think about it: Smoking = Not drinking, Not smoking = More time to drink

"Hey....give me that cigar"



"Okay okay...I'll just have more of this instead"
