Hi Lolo, well done on your quit, its looking mighty good. Remember as smokers we wear blinders to all the chemicals and destruction we do to our body, thats the kind of addiction it is, but look at us now...learning a new way to live , healthy...and beating i'd say one of the most horrible addictions there is.....stay the course all the best jeanigirl.

As I am looking through all the post I realized that I had this here and I still had a smoke last weekend...I know that a lot of people have a difficult time and I know that I made the choice to quit and that is the most important thing...I have met a lot of people a long the way and I have that I am not alone on the war to be smoke free...and I use that phrase...there are times as though it feels like I am in a war...smoker vs. not a smoker....but I wanted to come here and post a little something that maybe it could help someone else that is going through a bad crave.....I know what you are going through....I can only describe it as though ya got your non smoker on one shoulder and the nickdemon on the other.......I hate it and I am always yelling to my right ----"I don't smoke---I am NOT a smoker!-----I thought that of just one....I did the just one smoke....but why? Why did I pick that one up....cause nick showed it's ugly ways...well, i do now see it's true colors and I really don't like what it looks like....any other thoughts friends....Cause no matter how much medical info I put up...it is still a personal thing...I had an idea what I was putting in my body...but I couldn't stop all them years....please share...lolo [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/24/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 327 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24

What does nicotine do? Well, I looked it up and the American Cancer Society said....... In large doses nicotine is a poison and can kill by stopping a person's breathing muscles. Smokers usually take in small amounts that the body can quickly break down and get rid of. The first dose of nicotine causes a person to feel awake and alert, while later doses result in a calm, relaxed feeling. Nicotine can make new smokers, and regular smokers who get too much of it, feel dizzy or sick to their stomachs. The resting heart rate for young smokers increases 2 to 3 beats per minute. Nicotine also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet. It plays an important role in increasing smokers' risk of heart disease and stroke. Because nicotine is such a powerful constrictor of arteries, many vascular surgeons refuse to operate on patients with peripheral artery disease unless they stop smoking. Many people mistakenly think that nicotine is the substance in tobacco that causes cancer. This belief may cause some people to avoid using nicotine replacement therapy when trying to quit. While nicotine is what gets (and keeps) people addicted to tobacco, other substances in tobacco are responsible for its cancer-causing effects. There is some early evidence from lab-based studies that nicotine may help existing tumors to grow, but whether these results apply in people is not yet known and more research is needed.

I don't think the smell of smoke will hurt you the same as inhaling smoke.
