Linda has been quit over 5 weeks now but she had kept a full unopened packet of cigarettes in her home. She felt that by keeping a packet unopened that she was demonstrating control over the nicotine addiction. For me, that is a time bomb waiting to go off. I’ve done that before on previous quits but always caved in at some point. Linda graciously sent me her pack and I am currently working on creating a suitable artwork for them. They are still unopened by the way but it is strange to handle the packet – it has crossed my mind that I could smoke the pack and nobody would be any the wiser!! How crazy is that? On the other hand I stare at the pack and admire how pristine it is and how clean it is – the design sings purity.
