Good luck, Geoff. Here's my story.

I smoked about a pack a day until ~1971. Then I switched to pipe tobacco. Smoked three pipes a day and never felt addicted. Often didn't finish the three bowls. Then, in 1990, I cut back to 1 1/2 bowls/day. Ooooh, was I addicted. Left business meetings every 15 minutes to light up for one drag on the pipe (claimed I had urinary tract problems). Sucked at the unlit pipe.

Then one day, I ducked out of a conference room to light up in the hallway. I was standing directly under a smoke detector. BRRRRIIING! Fire alarms went off in all four buildings in the complex. 4,200 people in the street, including me, with a hot pipe in my pocket, trying to look inconspicuous. When they let us back inside, I saw the building mechanics examining thr detector. "Someone musta lit up under this one," one of the guys said. I didn't bother to tell him it was me.

That's when I decided to quit.

You have to be ready, Geoff. Hope you are.
