Morning NOPErs.... 30th January is Croissant Day... those buttery, flakey, cresent shape pastry delights... I mean I prefer mine of the almond variety....yummo.... but today is the day we celebrate the Austrian delicacies... yes boys and girls you read that correctly, the croissant was introduced to the French by Marie Antoinette .... it originated in her native Austria, well to be really specific it originated in Vienna... see the story goes the Turks of the Ottoman Empire were trying to take over the world and had Vienna under seige... after many months and no success the invaders decided to tunnel under the city to win.... but the bakers of Vienna who worked in the basements of buildings heard them and warned the authorities.... in celebration of their victory over the Turks croissants were invented to have with coffee while celebrating... when she went to France to marry the king, Marie Anttoinette took her favourite morning tea snack with her... the french saw that it was good and claimed it as their own.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
