Why do I want to quit smoking? Peer Pressure, plain and simple. I am one of the few smokers in my daily activities. I happen to live with three former smokers who involuntarily make we quit more and more each day. There’s no smoking in the house of course, so I have to go out to the garage. Man, the garage gets cold in the winter! Not only am I not sure it’s worth it, but I miss out on things like whatever TV program we might be watching or my sister has to wait for me before we start watching a movie. Granted it’s only for 10 minutes, but I know it bothers her sometimes. And I have a new niece that I baby sit quite often. I definitely can’t go out and smoke when baby sitting her. When she’s napping, I will try to sneak a quick cigarette in, but I think some how she knows because she’s always waking up right about then whether she’s been sleeping for 5 minutes or half an hour. The folks I work with are also pushing really hard for me to quit. So, I’m finally caving in and trying to quit.
