Vilko, thanks for the kind words; I really appreciate it. 😉
I actually managed to quit smoking last year. I had briefly fallen back into the habit after being smoke-free for such a long time here in the States, but I finally turned it around. The first time I quit was right when I moved to the US, specifically because I was preparing to get pregnant—there was just no question about smoking after ten years of youthful indulgence. Unfortunately, things got a bit inconsistent around 2005/06, like I mentioned before, right around the time I was expecting my child. Thank God I'm past that now.
I'm absolutely devastated. Watching my mom slowly shorten her own life is a heavy thing to witness.
It’s been 13 months since I finally broke free from that addiction. I haven't touched a cigarette in over a year! No cigarettes, no cigars, no herbal stuff, and no electric ones either...
Do you really need to be a size 10 just to have an opinion?
Just every once in a while. 👍
As for those ads you're putting up... Those teeth should look exactly like yours if you haven't seen a dentist since 1999 and have spent all that time smoking..
I've gone ahead and selected the attached advertisements.
images Honestly, everyone else was being way too bland to bother including in my post. Besides, the ones I picked do the best job of showing off the cigarette pack itself, the exact image percentage on the label, and how they actually look here in the States.
Regarding my teeth, I’ve attached a photo so you can see them—well, at least the front ones, since I've lost four fillings in the back. Just so you know, I wasn't exactly posing for a cigarette commercial here. 🙂

For Richard Booth35...The sheer elegance in how this intellectual writes!
Thanks for promoting some of my threads. 👍
If Richard Booth35—you know, the one who’s always playing both sides, acting like he's certain about something only to flip-flop on his opinion the second things change—actually sat down and read your incredible posts, I think he’d realize that if he hadn't been so simple-minded before, he wouldn't be writing the way he does now.
I really hope Richard Booth35 takes a moment to actually read my previous posts before jumping to conclusions based on things he's taken completely out of context.
And regarding that bit about "slipping under a skirt"—I don't really get what you mean by that, but anyway, here’s a photo of me (with my
smudged face) showing that there's definitely no room left to hide under my mini skirt
