This is true, but it doesn't account for the fact that people have cravings years after their last cigarette. That is more a function of learned behavior, which is much more insidious and difficult to break than a chemical addiction. Ever notice how so many drugs involve a "ritual" element to them? Cooking heroin, rolling a joint, etc. Isn't the ritual half of the experience? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

No, you just begin as the second-to-last runner, and then overtake the last runner to become the new last runner. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Well, I take exception to the answer provided to the second question. I think you can overtake the last person in a race. It just means that you would become the new last-place runner. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Well, the thing is you aren't really deprogramming the brain. After you quit, your brain still associates smoking and the nicotine rush as a reward. Especially when your brain associates particular places with smoking (like in the car, for example), after quitting, there will be that association: car=>smoke=>reward. That is why 30 years later if you find yourself receiving the same cues, you can feel an urge to light up. The rewards of smoking aren't dissociated from your brain.

Have you ever been just going along in your life, enjoying it for the most part, and then suddenly get hit with memories of a woman (or man) from your past? There is this girl that I was very close to about three years ago. I was falling totally for her. The problem was, I had a fiancee. I was supposed to be getting married. The more time went on, the stronger my attraction to her grew until finally I called off the wedding and broke it off with my girlfriend at the time. I recall one night about a month later, I went out with this girl and had the most amazing time. I went back to her place and remembered thinking that I was at a crossroad...I could kiss her, but that would permanently close any relationship I had with my ex-fiancee. Well, I chickened out (stupid...stupid...stupid), got back with my girlfriend and moved to Michigan with her. The relationship didn't last long after that. Half a year and we broke up for good. At about this time, I went and visited the other girl (incidentally, this was the weekend I took my first jump course), who was now with living with a boyfriend, and at one point during the visit, told her all that had happened. This knocked her socks off...I ended up getting an e-mail after I returned to the effect of "I wish I had known then how you felt. I keep wondering how things would be right now." Shortly after, I started seeing Ali, who I am still with now and am totally crazy about. But two nights ago, I began thinking about this girl again (who became engaged in September), and how I wish I had kissed her that night, and have not been able to stop obsessing about it. I just can't seem to make sense of how I can be happily with one woman (indeed, I wouldn't leave Ali for Rosanna now even if I had the chance), but could still wish to be able to change my past in such a way that I might never have started dating Ali. Weird. I think it has to do with building up a fantasy person who doesn't exist. Yes, Rosanna was a great friend, but the person I'm thinking about now isn't Rosanna. The person I'm thinking about is an amalgamation of my ideal fantasy woman. Let's say Ihad kissed her that night and I was with her now. After three years, there would be things about her I could absolutely not stand. The relationship would be nothing like how I see it in my head. But intellect will never beat out emotion in these kinds of issues. Crap, that was long. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

I found week 3 to be the hardest. It's funny, I quit in 98 and still have the occasional urge. Nothing like the nic fit, though. The best is when you finally realize that you can start to smell things! It's wonderful! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Or a woman. Last week, I received an e-mail from a girl I broke up with in September of 1997!!! These come about three times a year: "I was hoping we could be friends." Well, I was hoping you weren't psycho! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

I think it's cool to see the difference in professionalism between that site and this one. dz.com is a beautifully designed website. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

True, but the obverse is valid. By citing the example of Hitler, one can argue that vegetarianism and temperance does not necessarily make one a moral person, which is what I think people generally do with this case. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Anybody watching this? I can't help but wonder if there isn't some subliminal political message in it. A less-than-brilliant Texas cowboy making an ass of himself in Europe? On FOX? Hmmmmmmmm. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
