Hi RedRuby,

Well you only smoked for a little and your body remembers the clean air days you have already enjoyed since quitting.

Since you are young you have all the more reason in the world to want to stay away from cigarettes. I am an alcoholic and at my local AA I am seeing people ill and dying from cigarettes. Nobody seems to make a big deal out of cigarettes being the cause like they would if it was alcohol. The real eye opener for me is that everybody that dies from cigarettes is not old. It is shocking to see pictures of young people taken by cigs but it does happen. I think seeing those pictures left a lasting impression in my mind that squashes the cravings from even starting up now.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing RR. You can do this!!
