Or rather the lack thereof.
From the age of approximately 16, I smoked about a pack a day. I picked up the dirty habit working in kitchens and shamefully carried it with me until my Junior year of college.
Well, last fall I quit for good with the help of some nicotine gum and encouragement from my girlfriend (who quit cocurrently). I feel so much better physically and mentally now.
So, would it be a good idea to list quiting smoking as an EC on my application. It was a big accomplishment for me. Moreover, it would help me relate to patients, because even today, about a third of the popultion smokes.
I'd like to hear from anyone on the subject, smoker, ex-, or not.
Thanks.
