Today I got some good news.
My dear boyfriend has had some oral surgery done for some wisdom teeth which weren’t sitting in a very wise position. That’s what happens when kids don’t go to the dentist.
Now he’s not allowed solid food. The bacon withdrawal is killing him. But that’s not the good news.
The Good news is that he’s not allowed to smoke while his mouth heals either.
I’m a stoic non-smoker, but I long ago gave up debating the smoking issue with him because it wasn’t getting anywhere. Our relationship has been harmonious due to a peace-making “Mouthwash Agreement” and the banning of pre-coital cigarettes. But now, for a few blessed weeks, he’s going to have to kick the habit. and maybe, just maybe, I can nudge him along to kicking the habit for good. Or at least until Christmas. Or maybe my birthday )April). Or maybe for good.
We shall see. In the meantime, he’s wandering around asking people if they have a spare nicotine patch, instead of a spare cigarette.

I wish both of you luck in helping him quite…there is no excuse as good as this one right? He might not get it so easy again.

First - Very cool blog layout. Love your header.
Second - I am an ex smoker. I smoked for 10 years. In the last 5 years of my smoking habit I cut down to half a pack a day because I refused to smoke in my car and could not smoke in the house. On Dec 26 of last year I quit. Best thing I ever did.

Best of luck to both of you. I quit smoking many years ago. It was one of the hardest things I ever did. But just like the previous commentator it was the best thing I ever did. Have your boyfriend think of all the money he will save by not smoking!
