11:pm I smoked my last cigarette!One week, 8 minutes and 36 seconds.
140 cigarettes not smoked, saving $25.92.

| Congratulations - but only 140 not smoked in a week. I was smoking 3
packs a day - that was a bad habit! |

| When do you find time to breathe Ronnie? Seriously, if I've done my math
right, that equals one cigarette every four minutes taking into account that
you got 8 hours sleep. Will do the math again to be sure. |

| way back then cigarettes came 20 to the pack - three packs a day = 60 a
day. If I was awake for 16 hours a day, that is about four an hour. And
way back then I could smoke at my desk while talking on the phone, so
I usually had one burning. |

| At various points in my 35 year smoking career, I was in the 3 pack a
day range, although 2 was more common. First of all, don't make the mistake of assuming 8 hours of sleep.
Ronnie does the same thing for a living that I was doing full time in
those days. My most productive hours were AFTER everyone else in the
house went to sleep. But the real key to 3pack+ a day smoking is that it's really 3pack+
LIGHTING. A couple drags, set it down in the ash tray, type a few
words, light another one, then notice that the previous one is still
burning in the ashtray. I figure I've saved enough for a new Skeeter in the 10 years since I
gave it up. So where's the damned boat? |

| How the heck am I going to keep supporting my boating habit with you people
quitting smoking. That Altria dividend is very nice. But congratulations
on quitting smoking. Still enough idiots out there to keep some money
coming my way. |

| You're right Ronnie... I was coming up with 3.75 per hour, at 16 hours a
day. |
