> sarSar,
Don't worry. I cheated for months. Wouldn't buy cigarrettes but sometimes bummed the equivalent of a pack. Sometimes took the gum out of my mouth in order to light up. Eventually I stopped cheating. Then later I dropped the gum. It's been over a year and it's no longer tempting at all. And you're right. Smokers do smell funny now!Good luck to both of you, Sar and Kristi. Keep at it.
Jane
