DAY 24
The life of a smoker has become particularly miserable in recent years now that many households
are hostile to smoking. A visit with friends entails suffering for the smoker. While others are making
merry, the smoker is longing for a cigarette. She becomes more and more distracted as the question
looms larger "When can she make a break for it?" Just as she's about to go into the graden for a
cigarette, dinner is served. After dinner, when it would seem reasonable to have a little smoke
outdoors, some bore is telling an endless story, and she can't politely exit unil it's finished. And then
soon after she's served her addiction, the old urge starts all over again.
It's just as bad in restaurants. Even understanding friends may admit that smelling smoke while
they're eating makes them sick. Smoking was certainly more fun when there was a happy conviviality
about it. Now, a person who unveils a pack of cigarettes feels like a murderer.

DAY 25
In your first few weeks as a nonsmoker, your sleep may be disturbed, but you may soon be sleeping
more soundly than you did before, particularly if you've been getting some exercise. You may find
yourself needing more sleep than you used to (you're more active during the day) or less (you have
more energy). Don't get overtired, which leads to carelessness, which leads to smoking.
Meanwhile, keep a good book next to your bedside and be glad you don't have to worry about falling
asleep with a cigarette in your hand. In Baltimore, a three-year study found that more than half the
house fires were caused by smoking. Of those who died, 39 percent were not the smokers
themselves.
