Gumdrop~~~as a recent non smoker, I can totally empathize with your situation. Go buy some Nicorette cinnamon surge gum (no, I don't work for the company, it was just the best for me). It saved me in those first few week situations that I knew in advance were going to be the hardest ones for me. I chewed that, I would tease about putting my "cigs" (gum paks) in my purse whenever I was around those people....but it worked!! The gum is a crutch, but hey, we can all use a little help now and then! I did not continue chewing it, in fact, I have about seventy dollars of it sitting in my medicine cabinet, but it really did help me. Also, try a little postive thinking. In your mind, keep thinking, "look at those smokers, wow, they really DO smell", or "my lungs are so much happier with me", "do they really think they look cool?", "I am so happy nothaving to hide out some where to smoke!" Whatever it takes to make it less appealing to you. I hope these suggestions help. Yep, it's hard, but believe me, you will be the stronger one of the group and you are a winner!!! Keep the Faith!
