good job

You said "Naw, she's just temporarily not smoking." Glad you've gotten past that thinking! I know how that goes. I can smell cigarette smoke from quite a distance now. Sitting at a stop light, i can usually tell if someone in a car near me is smoking. Also, my mom still smokes..I hate when she comes over because even though we don't let her smoke in the house, she still brings the stench in on her clothes. -- Steve

Hence the "provisionally" ;-) And yes, I've got a nose for it now; I can tell if SWMBO had a smoke at lunchtime when she comes in from work five hours later.

Now when I go home for a few days I can smell the smoke as soon as I walk into the house, and have to immediately do a load of laundry when I get back, to get the smell off my clothes. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird? \r\n[link\|http://www.shtuff.us/\|shtuff]

I remember driving in the car as a kid with my shirt pulled over my nose while mom puffed away in the car. And she's still puffing away, between the hits of oxygen she needs for her emphysema and congestive heart failure. My Dad smoked, too, and didnt quit until he became a quad from the MS. Funny how that works. Good for you for quitting, Peter! I never smoked, thanks to my parents. Call it aversion therapy. In college I would occassionally light one up to piss off my roommate, who had allergies worse than mine. Ahh, good times.
