TPROP:
Yes, it is a huge deal. First, let me congratulate you and say that I'm sure that you probably feel a whole lot better since you quit. I smoked from 1977 to 2001. People quit for all kinds of reasons. In situations such as this, try to concentrate on what you're heading towards as oppose to what you're going through. Do that and you'll always
"walk on water".
All the best. I wish you good health.
