Kudos to anyone that has kicked one of the nastiest habits humans engage in. June 17th, 1984 was the first day of my quiting the cigarettes. It was not easy, especially when I went to work. I was a bartender, ergo, a constant stream of smoke being blown around me. In a short time, I realized how much I stunk of that smoke after getting off work.
When smoking was banned in bars, nightclubs etc., I was very happy about it. I believe that was the early 90's in Maryland.
