vaflyer,
The glass room comment was in jest. LOL That is why I tagged the little guy winking.
Yes, the medical issue really SUCKS!!! I grew up on a farm with both of my parents being smokers. It didn't bother me a bit back then. Now it feels like I am sucking down razor blades! Seriously painful, and why the heck it came on so quickly is beyond me.
Good luck with quitting! My wife was a heavy smoker until the last kid was born and that was when she decided to quit. It was hard and she still has those days she craves one. Its been 25+ years for her.
