When my apartment was painted and recarpeted last year I started smoking outside because it smelled like new in here, so one of my favourite things about not smoking is not getting all bundled up and standing outside in the cold and rain just to have a smoke! And the smell in my truck is just a normal smell now, not a stale smoke smell.

I also like putting perfume on now and knowing that it won't be masked in a matter of minutes now by smoke.

I like being able to smell things that I never smelled before. (Except the BO that I never knew one of friends has! Pee-ew!)

I like being able to kiss my boyfriend who quit about 4 months ago and know that I don't taste like an ashtray.

I like being able to do things without thinking "I better have a smoke first" because you don't know when you'll be able to have the next one, like at movies and such.

I like not having to excuse myself from the table at a restaurant to go and have a smoke when I'm the only smoker there.

I like being able to say "I'm sorry, I don't smoke" when people ask to borrow a smoke.

That's my list for now. I'm sure there will be more as the length of time that I don't smoke grows and grows!
