I bought my first pack of smokes in more than a week. And I've made the decision that I'll be doing the quit thing with more vigilance and vigor starting tomorrow 5 June.

During the week of no tobacco, my sense of smell returned, I could taste things again, my breathing wasn't obstructed, I had more energy due to an increase in oxygen, and my sinuses weren't clogged up.
