well i used to smoke a lot too so i can empathize...but i daresay the green tea fraps are a tad better for you.....despite the caloric values.

yeah, that's probably the worse part of quitting.. i gained about 15lbs too.

i think people that work in the corporate world...are suspectible to gaining weight...

all those donuts, snacks people bring in, and who wants to workout after working your ass off the whole week....

unless you make it a healthy habit...it'll be tough to maintain one...

like the insane gas prices...that are approaching $4/gal.

Recent polls over here do point out that when they raise the price of a pack of cigarettes by 1€ (roughly US$1.20 ) many people voted that they would quit.

couldn't say that about driving though, even though the price of gas keeps going up- more and more people are driving it seems. public transportation is rather crappy here, especially the trains (like in many countries)

I happened to be in the US on the very day gasoline price hit the $1 mark. The scene was quite memorable with people queuing up, begging for, and fighting over what limited supply of per-$1 gas there was at the gas stations.
