How Things Used to Be

Watching an episode of "Emergency" on MeTV. A woman was seeing one of the doctors and asked if she could smoke in the doctor's office. "Sure, go right ahead," the doctor said as he slid the ashtray across the desk so she could use it. Wow! For some of the younger people on the site, this is how widely accepted smoking used to be back in the 70's when a lot of us older folks started up. It used to be the thing to do. Now it is shunned. Just an example about how it is easier to quit now than it has ever been.

I quit smoking on March 26th, 2009. I smoked a pack a day for 25 years. I quit because I began having health issues in my early 40's. I had a TIA and a stroke a few years ago. I work as a home delivery salesperson.
