Hey, it's working!

My brothers are about a month into their quits, which is just wonderful to see. I was talking to Geoff and John about it this weekend, and it sounds like each one's success is doing a lot to encourage the other one. They live together, so that makes sense.

Their so-far-successful quits have prompted me to look for articles related to smoking and quitting, and I've come across some interesting ones that I'd never seen before.

Several sources indicate that in some time between 2002 and 2004, the number of quitters exceeded the number of smokers in the U.S., for the first time in history!
