Quitting smoking is tough. The worst part is, I still crave a cig! Every stinking day, i smell someone smoking and I instantly want one. Now it is all about the willpower! But I keep my Werthers Original and LifeSavers stocked up at all times. Those little hard candies really helped me. But everyone is different. And the money i am saving is what is going into my Violin hobby. So win-win for me!

Naska! This is what you said in your 'new year resolutions':
I also planning to learn double stops at last; buy a new violin (i like CVN 700 and Cremona "Don't know the model"); and maybe quit smoking

I stopped smoking when I got pregnant and created a law that everyone stepping inside my place had to go smoke outside on the balcony! I was a big smoker, like sometimes lighting one when the other was not finished? lol. Just yesterday I was feeling like having a cig even after over 10 years! I think the cravings, even uncommon, never truly go away!
I wonder if it's because I stopped smoking and had a kid that I grew from normal to overweight LOL. I mean I was probably moving more with a kid to take care of then before so it makes no sense!

I was going to ask how the violin has impacted your habits when I remembered something pretty funny.
I believe it was Artoro Rubinstein, pianist, who hated practicing so much that he often opened a fresh box of chocolates at the start of a session. However, I do not remember a "fat" photo of him !
Now the violin certainly prevents smoking or eating but will we "crave" violin if we ever went "cold turkey" ?
Giving up smoking is certainly worthwhile no matter what.
