I applaud your efforts, DC and TIS!! I think it's wonderful.

I remember when my dad developed a heart condition. The doctor told him to quit. He went down to 4 cigarettes a day, one after every meal and then one around 9 at night. The doctor told him that if he could do that, he could quit. He then switched to a pipe. The doctor told him that wasn't exactly quitting. He finally gave it all up.

And my mother-in-law quit this New Years after a particularly nasty bout of pneumonia. I never thought I'd live to see the day she would stop smoking, especially since she drives around in a 1978 Mercedes that has a bumper sticker that says I Smoke And I Vote. But I applaud her for doing it.

And I hope that you guys keep it up. DC, get the patch or something. It can't hurt!!
