the pandemic has spread! i have friends and a husband whom i never thought would even consider quitting; and some of them have recently. that makes me happy.
part of the reason smokers don't want to try to quit is that they're told it's hard and that 95% of cold-turkey quitters smoke again within the first year and you suck and yadda yadda. so they're already set up for failure and say to themselves, "why bother?".
the myth that it's hard needs to be dispelled. i know it's only been 11 days, but i have had bigger urges for sushi in my life than for a cigarette in this short amount of time.
