While we were on vacation this past holiday season- Marcel told me that he was planning to stop smoking. When I asked him when, he couldn’t really give me a date, but said that he would definitely be doing it this year. I didn’t say much, because I figured it was more of a wait-and-see type of thing.
Several weeks ago we were at a restaurant for my mother-in-laws 75th birthday celebration. Someone mentioned smoking discount backwoods cigars and asked Marcel if he’d ever tried them. He said he hadn’t and what surprised me was the fact that he told everyone that he was stopping this year. It was unprompted and strictly from him. That was the first time since he mentioned to me that he was going to quit that I actually thought maybe he means it. I guess all I can do is wait and see, but I sure hope he stops.
