A couple years ago -- when my appendix and I parted ways -- I endured a span of not smoking for about seven days. Even in that period of time I was rather struck by some of the flavors that jumped at me... and then I stupidly picked up a cigarette again. I'm looking forward to what happens when I put them down permanently. Thanks for the good thoughts, Rich.

Did it myself, pack a day for 36 years and tried halfheartedly to quit several times, lasting perhaps 2-3 weeks at best. One day in February at 49 after a few months of bad reflux (also smoking related) I found myself sucking wind after doing something that shouldn't have been that tiring. Just said "that's it," and that was it. It was very odd to me that after all those other time trying to quit I could shut it off so simply, but it just had to be the right time, I guess. Only time I get pangs is at a bar after 3 drinks and yes, I've cheated, but have never felt the desire to start again. As I don't go out much, it's not a big deal.If anything, I actually enjoy the four or five cigs a year I do have. So good luck - maybe your day will happen this year. I'll add that I do think it'll help sensory perception. Didn't help much the first year, but during the second year my palate really seemed to open up and become more sensitive.
