Resolution: Quit Smoking
Where to Go: County Wicklow, Ireland
What to Do: Surprisingly, Ireland has become one of the toughest no-smoking nations in the world—and if you're trying to quit, the fewer temptations, the better. You can't smoke in any enclosed workspace, which includes almost any place a traveler would visit, from shops to restaurants and pubs. In 2008, you won't even be taunted by cigarette ads in shops anymore, and the dastardly packs will be kept out of view in any shop selling them.
Where to Stay: While some hotels here still have smoking rooms, the Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt in Enniskerry (353/1-274-8888; www.ritzcarlton.com) is completely smoke-free, so you can be saved from yourself whether you lounge in your room or stroll the hotel's centuries-old gardens.
