Just checking in for my quit, which starts tomorrow, and hopefully helping get this sub off the ground.

Edit: thanks for the well-wishes everyone. Turns out my wife and I did fight over something stupid, and I smoked, because I'm an idiot. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.

Surgical tech and nursing student, here!

We all know smoking isn't healthy, so it feels a little redundant to drive that point, but even as someone who's worked in a clinical environment for years, I gotta say I had no fucking clue just how bad it is until the deep-dive into disease processes my recent education has pushed me through.

Smoking fucks with like everything your body wants to do - it's not just a random cough and the elevated risk of cancer.

Definitely cheering for you!

Eh, that doesn't help when my wife is going apoplectic on me and putting me close to a nervous breakdown.

Sometimes I think I won't be able to quit until we get divorced.

Yeah that sounds like an entirely different problem that I also wish you swift luck with. If that was a regular occurrence between my own wife and I, we'd definitely be getting a divorce - ain't nobody got time for that. There's therapy options and the like too - do what's best for you.
