I didn't smoke for 12 years when I managed to stop smoking in Nov. 2004. One 4am morning I woke up after only sleeping for 4-5 hours with a tobacco cough .... that lasted for a whole minute, and I was unable to breathe due to all the coughing, I thought I was gonna choke. Longest minute of my life. I stopped smoking there and then, I don't remember what I did with the remaining cigs, I think I threw them into the trashcan; I did smoke 2 packs of Prince (40 cigs) a day back then, before I quit cold turkey. I smoked briefly in 2016 when I was admitted, but was able to quit again after I got better, between then and now there were 4½years I didn't smoke cigs. I have trouble falling asleep, so I consider it a necessary evil to smoke to relax more. When my sleep schedule is back in order, I'll quit smoking - it won't be easy, but I think I'll manage.
