I did love it. I never noticed the smell at all. And I hear that a LOT.
Now I love not doing it, and I love the smell of my own hair.
I loved it, or so I told myself and others; but I hated it too, mostly for the state of permanent slavery.
Hard to believe, but I am looking forward to a long trip overseas (Boston to Frankfurt), rather than dreading it. Frankfurt airport is extremely busy, and the smoking glass boxes are filled with all kind of smokers. I remember back from one of the trips to India, we stopped in Frankfurt, and I had to stand in very, very close proximity in one of those boxes, with all males, some of them from cultures in which women don't smoke, ever; will never forget the dark eyes, and the judging stare, it was probably the shortest cigarette I ever had in my life...
In about one month, in Frankfurt...

Thank you Dale for the reminder!
My daughter lives in Boston...Dorchester to be exact.
Yikes Daniela-3-11-2016 I remember smoking YEARS ago in an airport in Ohio inside of one of those little glass rooms, I almost vomited and I could smell that horrible smell long after I got on the plane...it was in my PORES...seriously, I DID hate it. I was embarrassed to be a smoker, I am embarrassed that I ever WAS a smoker...weird, huh?
When do you leave on your trip? It is amazing how much easier it is to travel as an ex-smoker. I am SO glad to be a member of that exclusive group.

elvan Ellen, we leave Phoenix on the 19th of May and are back in town on June 2nd. Can't wait for it to be over; I am scared about the long hours for mom, the moving with assistance (even though that makes it easier on me, we getting through the special lines, not so much waiting). But based on our latest trip it took her so long to make up the jet lag that she had very little time left to enjoy the actual trip. We'll see, and again, I'll be happy when we land back
Daniela-3-11-2016 I hope the waits are not too long and that you can find someone to help keep your mom company so YOU can enjoy the trip. You have EARNED this!
Dear Ellen, elvan, I am taking the trip FOR and WITH mom! The most I can hope would be some hours here and there, while in Romania, to visit with friends and family. Maybe I will spend one night at my cousin's home, he has stage IV breast cancer, and this might be our last opportunity to spend time together.
Here’s my addition to your lovely poem.....
".............Because if I do
reach out to take
another drag of it
i’ll shame myself
With my head bowed
For ruining a good quit.......”
I am sort of lucky, I guess, I DID NOT like smoking, I was JUST an addict killing myself slowly but surely. I hated the smell, the feeling of judgement, the fact that smoking controlled my every move...where I would go and when...HATED it!
