An Ex-Smoker's Guide To: Other Smokers

I went out for a meal with a group of colleagues from work last night, and what with it being a typical British summer (basically warm but a bit drizzly) we sat inside but with windows open (don't worry, there's a point to this!)

After the meal, a group of women had sat down outside directly underneath the open window, and had all (and I mean ALL 7 or so of them) sparked up.  Sure enough, after about a minute or two the all familiar smell of second hand cigarette smoke started to drift in through the window.

Oh my god, I was immediately choked, headachy, sweaty, desperate for a cigarette and fighting back the cravings...

NO! Of course I wasn't!  The beauty of Easyway is that it didn't bother me in the slightest.  Yes, I asked my colleague to shut the window, because even though the smell isn't completely hideous, it's still rather unnerving (don't ask me why, though I guess it's the natural reaction to a poison), but I'd have asked him to do the same thing had it been a wiff of "fresh country smells" making its way into the room!

During the summer especially, you're always going to come across people who smoke; whether it be friends, colleagues or just people walking down the street or in your local park.  The good news is, is that it is possible to live a completely smokefree life without this bothering you in the slightest.  You may however feel the only real negative side effect; a pang of pity for the people still stuck in the trap...

You may even crack a smile... 

Because you're FREE!
