Smokeless Man

An estimated 19.8 percent of U.S. adults (43.4 million people), were current smokers in 2007, down from 20.8 percent in 2006, according to a study in Center for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, released in advance of the Great American Smokeout.

And Reuters has reported another good reason to quit, with women between 27 to 44 years old doubling the chance of premenstrual syndrome, especially hormonally-related symptoms like backaches, bloating, breast tenderness, and acne. So while a cigarette might seem like it's making things better at that time of the month, you might be better off quitting instead!

Meanwhile I'm cutting down again. Down to 10 a day, and planning tomorrow as the last day of indulging my relapse before hitting the nicotine replacement again!
