I have never smoked. Reason why is that my parents did and I hated it. The kids at school would sometimes say "you smell like smoke". So , needless to say I could not stand the thought of cigarettes. Hurricane, I suggest you stop and wait two months before buying a boat. If by then you feel like the habit is kicked then by all means get a boat. Dont let anyone tell you not to get a boat. Everytime you look at that boat its gonna remind you that its there because you quit smoking. That should be motivation enough to not pick one up again. Good luck and stay the course brother
