I'd say it is, but then there is "drug paraphernalia" on my desk at this moment, in the shape of a pint glass - I use it for water during the day.

Golden Virgina, Marlboro, Benson and Hedges etc
But I just need the nic hit, so may as well have a pleasant taste as well.

Champix[^] is a lot better and cheaper just ask your Quack for them. I was heavily addicted and had tried Patches/gum etc to no avail. They are honestly miracle pills that require no effort on your part. You remember how disgusting the smell of smoking and the thought of smoking was before you smoked? These revert you back to that in a matter of days.

Quote: In November 2007, the FDA announced it had received post-marketing reports that patients using varenicline for smoking cessation had experienced several serious side-effects, including suicidal ideation and occasional suicidal behavior, erratic behavior, and drowsiness
Thanks, but NO, THANKS ...

Yeah but that lots bollocks. You have to have suicidal tendencies in the first place. Besides they probably only wanted to kill themselves because they couldn't have a fag.

I found out that the only way for me to quit smoking was cold turkey.
Patches did not work and was a complete waste of money.
So was the other products and gadgets out there.
There is a long story behind me quitting so I'll give you the short.
When I lived in upstate New York cigarettes were somewhat cheap.
I moved to Southern Georgia in 2003, still smoking a pack aday.
I went to NY to visit some family and friends in April 2010.
I found that cigarettes were around $11.00 a pack. So I thought that
this was a God-send and started my journey and quit.
After 3 yrs. and 5 months, I still get a slight urge to light up.
It's a day to day process so just try to stay away from the
coffin nails as long as you can.
Hope your quitting is as successful as mine.

I quit about a year ago, and the e-tokes really helped with that. I still keep one around, but rarely use it. IIRC, the nicotine isn't a carcinogen, it's just highly addictive, and the other 400 or so nasty ingredients cause the health problems. Straight nicotine sulfate, minus the other nasties and the hot smoke, ought to be at least a little healthier for you.
By the way, I haven't noticed any improvement in physical condition since quitting, so don't expect miracles. On the other hand, 40 years of smoking never had any bad effect on me at all, which made my doctor very frustrated as it removed all his best arguments for convincing me to quit. 
Your mileage may vary, of course. In any case, it's worth doing - quitting, that is... Good luck!

The claim that an electronical smoke is "healthier" has not yet been proven.

Nothing is healthy from you. Every day it seems there is a new 'study' out that says something new is bad for you... I am convinced living is bad for your health.

Everytime you take a cigarette in your hand, just remind yourself of what Bernard Shaw said about smokers. (It wouldn't stop your from smoking, it would just make you feel silly)

Jeez, I hate having to work with files in any language. Simple requirement, before creating an output file check if it exists and if so move it to an archive with the last modified date added to the name.
How hard can it be? Oh, I need to check if the folders exist and create them if they don't. But after that? I ended up taking the original file as a string and regexing it to get the new name. Everything else was like finding food at Chez Hilton.

Sounds like a case where SSIS would have helped with that. It makes doing data loads easy...

Up to this moment I thought I had reasons to stop spending days at the beach and returning home. I was wrong and should have stayed there, even if another fish comes and bites me again.
