Iām Canadian, in fact I think I grew up not far from where Lynn was working at the time. And I donāt think Iāve ever heard the phrase ātaking a few stridesā before.
I donāt know about ātaking a few stridesā but when I was a kid in the 60ās we called everybody āman.ā It was just a word you threw in the way kids today say ālike.ā
This is a funny series, but quitting smoking is only hard for people who MAKE it hard. I woke up one morning 30 years ago and didnāt want to smoke any more. I was a bit uncomfortable for a couple of days, but that was it. I havenāt smoked, nor wanted to, for 30 years.
I donāt know about the āwanting toā part. My mom really wanted to quit for years, but it was so hard for her to quit. Other than the nicotine part that is hard to kick, I think she has one of those addictive personalities thatās hard for her to give up habits. My husband was able to easily give up smoking with hardly any effort at all, and he only gave it up because it was such a pain to smoke in the US when he moved here. Obviously he could have continued smoking if he āwanted toā because there are places to smoke with a little effort.
What quitting smokers who ācheatā donāt understand is that the odor clings to their clothes and breath. They donāt fool anyone except themselves.
Ray Thomas: How unfair and judgmental can you get? Just because you and a few others had a relatively easy time quitting doesnāt mean those who donāt are deliberately making it harder for themselves. I have known people who quit cold turkey with almost no problem at all and people who have struggled for years trying to overcome what is, after all, a physical addiction.

Nagging and/or spying rarely accomplish the desired result; usually the opposite, in fact.
