Thx Roco, I have to beat this thing. I feel like a pussy, but hell, smokes have been my friend for so long.

mudmanc4 ;I have central heat but all my AC is window units.1 evaporative & 2 refridgerated.
My HEPA air cleaner is a Sunbeam model 2543 but it is several years old & this model is no longer made.I don't know if they make a newer equivalent.I have hundreds of hours on this one & no sign of failure yet.
I wish I did have well water like you.The well water we have here is good but somewhat high in fluoride.This can cause tooth mottling but no real harmful effect.In the city you have to get a permit to drill a well & it is illegal to hook up to your house water or drink.The city does add well water to the salty lake reservoir water to make it barely meet state standards.
We have had a drought the last 4 years & the reservoir that was a 105 feet depth is now 46 feet.So they are adding more well water.I do drink some of this as it contains a lot of minerals mostly in cooking & coffee.
I don't have a home water filter .I buy mine from a company here that puts up small buildings that are coin operated & you can buy the filtered water for a 25 cents a gallon.Like I said I got a tour from a service tech that was there one time I was getting water.I'm sure the filter system they use would be several thousand dollars to build & costly to operate for a home.It even monitors it's own tank water & if it detects anything wrong with the water like something that should have been filtered out it shuts itself down & calls the service tech.They are cleaned daily & well serviced.You may not even see this type of service if your area has good water.But these are a long way above the self service units you see at Walmart.

2nd post  :lol:Ooops previous post , old english joke ,
back on topic , would I date a smoker ? probably not , Hell who wants to kiss a ashtray ?,  the one thing I used to my advantage on quiting smoking , as often I could not smoke for 8 hours plus (work ) was the strange light headed feeling I got , it wasn't exactly pleasent just a strange spaced out feeling ,  so I grew my thoughts on that, and tried to make full use of that feeling , and yes I shut myself away for a week , spent a lot of time just sleeping , planning future projects and thinking back to before I smoked ,
and finaly accepted I was a addict  to a expencive habit (UK ) , once that reality had finaly set in  things got easier and ,after a lot of other  changes in my life ,and suport from good friends,
 

 

My wife will have a couple of puffs off those  "American Spirit "  organic smokes then she butts it out.  So not really.

 There all on me about it, no one else in my immediate family smokes, so there i am.  I've smoked since I was about 14 , and I'm going on 39, minus a year here , and a month or two there.

I started about the same age, and had 9 years more on you when I quit. Its in your mind. IF you wanna quit anything you can. Except I feel diet and sticking to it is the hardest really. I have lost weight many times, but to keep up what you have to do daily anyway to survive, its a bit different. Sure losing is not bad, but keeping it off is not easy. And the older you get the worse it is too. Smoking is up to how bad you wanna quit really. When you do you will. Chemical help or not. I did not want a dependency for quiting. When you get to the last one, just walk away and suffer through it. And do not go back.

Your rugrats will appreciate it. Not to mention the wife who has some weird idea of living to old age with you.
