I've smoked for nearly 45 years, with only a brief break of 4 months many years ago.  I realize I am one of the last of the smoker group. I used to joke that I smoked because I couldn't afford to live forever.  On the other hand, I have 2 young daughters that have a lot of important life events coming up, that I would like witness. With cigarettes approaching $9 in Minnesota, it's not only unhealthy but getting to be cost prohibitive.  Really, it is such a stupid habit.  My wife hates it, my kids hate it and I guess, I even hate it.  This week, on Thursday, Hypnotist Mark Patrick will be doing a stop smoking seminar at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites at 75 South and 37 Avenue in St Cloud from 8 til 10 PM.  There will also  be a weight loss seminar from 5:30 to 7:30.  I am excited to kick the habit and I've heard nothing but great thing about this program.  So if you, too, want to kick this horrible habit, join me this Thursday night and let's put cigarettes behind us. Smoking2
