It would be a bonus but I bet yur son will be happy to have you around a little longer. I quit 14 years ago after smoking for 26 years so I know it can be done. Do I see more deer and biger deer now because I gave up smoking. No there is a lot more to sent control then just smoking, but thats a big start with out it there is no scent control what so ever. Think about spending all that money on scents, scent lock suit etc. and then smoking defeats the purpose.Congrats and good luck. I still bet you kill a big one this year. Mike
