I was totally immune to mosquitos when I was a smoker. I quit 7 years ago cold turkey(and +40lbs) and now the little buggers love me.
One of the few disadvantages of quitting I have found since I had my last smoke. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
I used to smoke 4 packs a day and the Mosquitos were all over me, I think I got them addicted to nicotine. I quit in 2006 cold turkey also but my drinking went through roof for about a year to compensate for the cigs. Now I still get bit by Mosquitos unless someone just down from the states sits by me. They like foreign blood, it's a status thing. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
