it pissed me off so much I guess I just wanted to reaffirm your decision.

I smoked for 28 years and remember going through various hassles with people before quitting, but thankfully, was never treated that way by a doctor.

I can certainly relate to the difficulty of quitting. I tried several times, but finally succeeded and I'm so glad I did.
If you're having trouble quitting, I'll be happy to tell you what worked for me. We can discuss it here on the thread or you can pm me if you'd like.
