Congrats on the 8 years! I agree with you. In Sept. it will be 5 years off
after smoking for 10 and I can't stand even a whiff of the dreaded stuff. I
quit with a buddy and our bet was the first one to smoke had to shave their
eyebrows off. We did this at work and the whole crew was involved with
razors ready. It really worked.
George hangs around smoker, doesn't he? So maybe he doesn't mind it so much.
I know he's said that he wont smoke because so many relatives has died from
lung cancer and his old job of harvesting the stuff, but I guess second hand
smoke doesn't bother him. As for the drunkeness...;)
