Trade the cigar for anything, give it away, or throw it overboard.
Ex smokers nearly always find it impossible to "smoke just a little
bit" after knocking off for several weeks.
My sister in law has always been a heavy smoker. She's had numerous
angioplasties and finally open heart surgery last winter. Shes in her
mid 50's. Her doctor her told her she only got a single shot at the
type of heart surgery she needed, and that she *must never smoke
again*. My bro-in-law has told her he's absolutely not going to allow
her to smoke, and he's thrown out all the ashtrays, etc.
Recently, my sister-in-law asked my wife to get something out of my
sister-in-law's car. While looking for the cell phone, (or whatever it
was), my wife found a coffee cup full of cigarette butts stuffed under
the driver's seat. Sister-in-law hasn't stopped smoking, she just cut
back some and stopped leaving the evidence in the ashtrays. Maybe she's
lucky- not that many people can be absolutely certain how they're going
to die and just exactly why. The only open question now is, "how soon?"
Keep up the resolve, you're not out of the woods by a long, long shot
after just five weeks.
