I have paused smoking indefinitely. I'm no quitter, so I will not "quit", but I figure a 50 year long pause should work around that little issue.

I made the decision today not to buy that next carton of smokes. I will be forced into waking up tomorrow with no tobacco in the house (can you smoke coffee? hmmm) and I just promised my 11yr old son I will not buy another pack. That is one promise I can not back out of, and that is why I made it.

As a warning, please do not take anything I do or say personal for the next few weeks. I suspect I will be cranky, moody, cramping, gaining weight, retaining water, hungry for pickles and ice-cream, and maybe even shedding a few tears... hourly.
