I too started when I was 16. Quit for 2 years about 20 years ago (with the patch & running) - then started up again during a 'crisis'. Wife and I have been 36 hours now without a drag (on a cigarette) and determined to make it this time. In the process of washing all clothes that have any hint of tobacco scent on them, and really enjoying not smelling like smoke all the time (we never smoked (cigarettes) in the house. I've tried everything available before, and the patch is the only thing that helped me at all. Wife is hurting as her addiction seems 99% psychological and patches / gum don't do a thing for her. I'm very leery of ANY vaccine. Looking forward to starting up jogging again.

Finally an explanation for W.

This is the last straw. Now McCain will have to declare war on Iran and Canada at the same time. Oh well, it will be good for the economy (if you consider Haliburtin the economy).
