although, there are a lot of birthdays coming up among my friends, and apparently even if you quit you're expected to smoke then. so maybe i could start smoking again for the birthdays, and *then* go to japan to quit again. of course, my method is a LOT cheaper than the japanese method. but it doesn't come with charmingly mild and vague cautionary slogans, or diagrams of adorable children with cigarettes in their eyes, either...

As your doctor, well as
a doctor, I strongly urge you to not take up smoking again, even as a fillip to your friends. Quitting is hard and the reinforcement of the dopamine resptors that you get when you take it up again is brutal. Just say non!
