And I very very very rarely ever get the urge. In fact - I've become one of those loathesome ex-smokers - I can't STAND to be around the smell.

If anybody wants to quit, I really recommend getting a prescription for the Xanax - and build it up in your system before you stop smoking. It genuinely works.
Hmmmm I'm gonna try that.
