Dan:

That is really interesting -- the nicotine withdrawal and the acompanying "stunod" feeling was what made earlier attempts to quit fail for me. I couldn't stand acting stupid. This time I'm on the same track you are, copmfortably free of smoke and dealing with the final stage of letting go of my little nicotine pills. I have decided that I will just be willing to act stupid and hope it wears off.

Let me know how next week goes. I'm really interested to know if oxygen-stupidity is a life sentence... :>)
