Hey, first off, just want to say good luck with the fast.

Just a question ... do you find that you are smoking more now that you're not eating as much? I mean, is smoking starting to substitute for food, or do you find that not eating gives you less triggers to smoke, or is there no real effect?

Also, I've been reading on here that people tend to experience heightened senses of smell and taste from fasting. I'm curious to know if that applies to someone who smokes ... ie if you can taste and smell your cigarettes better?

I'd love to see someone go on a trial where they fast AND stop smoking, I'm sure their sense of taste would increase very dramatically.

Please keep us posted on your experience.
