I quit in 86' and it was the toughest thing I had to do. I did it with the nicorette gum and like Chillcutt had to remove myself from social situations where I'd be tempted. Kudos to all who have quit some sort of addiction and good luck to all who are trying.

PP, if you need patches or other supplies, I can get them for a discount. I'll have to see what we have though...

Willpower. You want to quit, you will. You don't, you won't.

Smart enough to quit? Smarter than that girl in the 7-11? I wasn't. ![]() I hope to see you at the next GTG....smoke free. ![]() |

PowerPig, hows the road to being smoke free?
My dad quit cold turkey this past Tuesday, and my moms starting to cut back. Dads been good, and not had a cig since Tuesday, said it gets easier every day.

Not well at the moment, but still trying......Boss told me today if I quit, he would give me an incentive raise. I think it would pan out to around $82 a year.

How many smokes a day? Divide that into a carton (200 cigs/carton)...how many days/carton? Then take 365 and divide that by the days/carton answer, then multiply that answer by the cost of the original carton... There's your additional PERSONAL savings...above what the boss would give you... It's amazing what a habit can cost ya... BTW: My mother started smoking Pall Malls back when she was 18...she turned 76 about 2 weeks ago...she FINALLY quit, CT, on Feb. 2nd 2007 and hasn't had a butt since then...when I was at her place a few weeks ago, the smell was gone (the walls are still a yellowish/brown from the nicotine/tar combo) but she's still a'kickin' and dancin' and she even mentioned that her eyesight has appeared to improved! There's a side-benefit I've never heard anyone mention before...it does seem to make some sense though...more oxygen to the brain and in the blood stream...plus the elimination of that smokers' haze in the air probably had something to due with the clarity issue too! ![]()

I recently bought a Sony 46" LCD/Blu-Ray/surround sound with the money I saved from quitting. I used to smoke a lot.
Chantix did it for me.

I am glad to see that you quit smoking. I smoked for 15 years. I dont miss it one bit. My son smoked for about a year and he quit one day. How many ciggeretts where you smoking a day? I use to smoke about a half a pack a day and my son smoked about 5 a day. Thank God we did not get to hooked.
