Purely Social Smoking

I'm officially an occasional social smoker. Since 22 Dec 2008, I haven't smoked regularly. I had a cigarette last night and probably another cigarette since that time.

In the absence of pregnancy, nicotine replacement therapy is a great help. I don't think the gum really did much use to me but I LOVE the lozenges. They have a different texture, they make your mouth really uncomfortable - but they also provide you with the nicotine buzz you need. I don't even take the lozenges now because they give that funny buzz to your mouth.

How do I feel around smokers? I don't really care if people smoke, but I think it looks bad when women smoke. I think smoking at bus-stops, whilst walking, standing around is absolutely ugly - and I was one of those people. I hate the smell of cigarettes now too. Vincent still smokes. He finds it too hard to quit. If he quits, we'll save $400 per month... I wonder if he realizes that..
