    Hi Jim.  I think you nailed it on the head.  Smokers think that if they quit they wont have any fun.  I know that is what i thought.  I would have to give up my friends and my favorite haunts and my consolation - but that is another story.  Of course it is funny that I never thought I might have to give up my life as a result of all my fun.
