My grandmother quit smoking through a program called Smokenders, which I

wish was still around. This was circa 1974 or75. I found some notes she

took, and part of it was analysing how you thougth about smoking, how you

felt when you smoked, how others' smoking looked to you, and you were

supposed to change your smoking habits: switch brands, wait at least 15

minutes after a m eal befor you lit up (assuming you smoked after eating),

wait at least 15 minutes after you'd normally light one up in the

morning---it was a program that weaned one off of smoking, while making one

very conscious of why you smoked in the first place. It was successful for

her, and I wish it was still around.

In Austin, almost all the AA meetings were smokefree (though of course

people went outside and lit up afterwards) but in San , we haven't

been able to find a smokefree meeting place yet (okay, since we started

RR/SOS, we haven't exactly been searching out every single AA meeting

place, but we have gone to 5 or 6 different places in San ). Club

12, this really big venue, has a non-smoking room, but the air supply is

shared with the rest of the building, it's hard to hear, and it's a little

like being in the women's section in an Orthodox synagogue. Other meeting

places have a smokefree table, where you don't get smoke blown directly in

your face, but you do get to inhale smokey air from all the other people in

the room smoking cigarettes. Yuck.

There has been some back and forth about smoking causing ep...I have heard

of this. Apparently smoking can cause damage to the cilia in your tubes and

from what I remember the it is irreverisble. This sounds like a good topic

for our first newsletter...I'm going to start researching and seeing what I

can find.

I think I might be able to help here,The damage to cilia is not

irreversible,when I had the lap to unblock both my tubes the re said that the

cilia was damaged in both tubes,then when I had the lap for the ep he said that

it was growing back and healthy,It took a year for that to happen but it did

happen.

Hope that helped

Thanks, I've been looking at info all afternoon and have yet to come across

anything that says one way or another... I didn't know that they could see

the cilia when you had a lap...very cool!
