I've been on a bit of a David Sedaris kick lately and saw this linked at my buddy Shaniac's site. If you're a smoker, an ex-smoker or trying to be an ex-smoker, check out this David Sedaris piece.

Sedaris is an incredible writer, he has a gift to get to the heart of the matter while making you laugh, cry, and even cringe sometimes. I've been meaning to post a story of his for some time - a lot of them are at the New Yorker website for free. The end of this essay slaughters me.

Give it up, Karol. Absolutely no good can come from it. I did 20 years and I'm glad I quit, but I've probably already relegated myself to a premature death.
