My method of giving-up was simple; after my last pack I just didn't buy any more, and when offered a cig told them I didn't smoke. It worked from day 1, and I've never really had a craving since. Lady Magnon, on the other hand, took to crocheting hats, and now has a box full. <br /><br />I'm not really sure what I think about replacing one form of cig with another. Isn't it perpetuating the habit, but just in another form?<br /><br />Anyway, I send you (and the family) my very best wishes, and look forward to more Angolan tales through 2014.
