		<description><![CDATA[Now.

As part of my quit program from Chantix, today is the day I am to write a letter about my experiences as a smoker and as a non-smoker. It has now been 3 weeks and 4 days since I smoked a cigarette.

I smoked for 50 years and am not sure quitting at this point will extend my life, but I am sure that the quality of my life will be infinitely better. As my smoking years passed, the habit of smoking became more and more ingrained into my persona and felt like the normal thing to do. There was a point long before I quit smoking when it did start to seem more like a chore than &#8220;pleasure.&#8221; Dirty ashtrays, burned car seats and clothes, lingering oppressive smoke film that always seemed to be there no matter how many windows were open. The smell had become unnoticeable to me because one of the things smoking does is suppress your sense of smell. It also dulls your sense of taste which is probably why there were so many foods I didn&#8217;t &#8220;like.&#8221;  And money. When I retired, money took on a new meaning, and the amount I was spending on cigarettes would eventually bankrupt me. Seriously.<br/><br/><span class="readmore"><a href="http://peachythings.com/blog/2010/09/02/i-am-a-non-smoker/" title="I Am A Non-Smoker!">Continue Reading--1 words totally</a></span>]]></description>
