To spend more time playing with my cats.

Always a worthwhile resolution (says the man with nine cats).

I think I'll tack on a resolution to be less like my cats and not procrastinate so much (but I'll probably get to that one next year).

Not me, I appreciate this (i was a heavy smoker 13 years ago)!

My New Year's Resolution (the first time I seriously made one): I set myself a budget limit for this year's DVD purchases (let's see how long this resolution will last  )

I tried this several times, It didn't work

I have to enjoy the games and movies I've already bought, instead of buying new ones all the time.

I have that problem too.  I suspect it's a common ailment to those who post here frequently.

Well, so if I fail to get done with it before that, it should be easy to kick the habit while visiting Germany in early March

So, what exactly does it mean? No smoking in public places? ( was always surprised to see that Germany was the last place I knew where the smoking areas in airports were open and not separated little rooms... )

Hi, some more informations HERE

Here in Hamburg, it's forbidden in e.g. restaurants and pubs, but the administration does not have the human resources to control this. So AFAIK they are depending on a kind of denunciation from other people. 

Look HERE as well!

But if you stop smoking now(!), you're on the safe side. If i had'n t stop smoking (I quitted smoking from one day to another, no reducing or something like this - just stopped immediately), my dvd collection would be much smaller yet.

Yes, no smoking in restaurants, night clubs, pubs etc. (not even a smoking area). This depends somewhat in which state you are in. In Bavaria for example, where I live, this new ban has one of the strictest enforcements. Here no exceptions to this ban are allowed.
Regarding airports: I am a little surprise, looking at the table at Wikipedia, that not all states prohibit smoking at the airport.

In Italy we have a smoking ban in restaurants and pubs since January 2005 (apart from special rooms for smokers only). The amazing fact is that the ban is actually enforced, as opposite to most laws in my country ;DDD
