Hi AngelaC. Your story reminds me of one of my own. Used to have a convertible with a rag top and I remember referring to it as an ashtray on wheels. Inside, the rag canopy was brown, not black and this was due to the smoke from 16 years of exhaling smoke in my vehicle. Just imagine what it does to our insides... You have made a good decision to change your ways. Enjoy the "ride".

congratulations on making one of the best decisions in and for your life ! We are here if you need support of any type ! Even though this is a difficult time, remember what your about to undertake is an addiction, plain and simple. Not knowing much about your time spent with this deadly silent killer, ( of everything from health to finances ) this journey can be difficult and sneaky. If I can suggest, read as much as you can in your spare time about quitting, even join other sites:

I quit Dec. 10th, the day I went into the hospital for surgery. What I didn't consider was how my clothes smelled. The day I was discharged, my husband had cleaned and deodorized the house and car, but all my clothes smelled of stale smoke. I could not wait to recover from the surgery and get all my clothes washed.
