Smoking that is ...

I'm 36 and I've been smoking since I was 19. I've cut it back to 1 1/2 packs per week in the last year and as much as I do still enjoy it, I think I'm ready to let it go.

With exception to my appreciation of good whiskey, it's the last remnant of the foolishness of my youth.

I don't know if I can do it. I'm going to miss my 20 little replaceable friends. [Image: marlboro_ks_swiss_made_cigarettes.jpg]

Any of you smoke/quit cigarettes? (No judgement of course.)

Wish me luck. Seriously. Wish me luck, I really like smoking .......... but I don't think it's worth sucking air out of an oxygen tank when I'm 50.

Dude, I am so with you. I am seriously contemplating making my current pack my last.

I don't enjoy it any more, and with my recent "medical misadventure", it's really a bad idea to continue.

If you or anyone need any further motivation - my stepmother is dying a slow, painful death from lung cancer.

Oh, and BTW - good luck. Stay on your guard, it's very easy to slip. I quit for three years once and started again in a weak moment.

Good luck both of you!! Heart

At least YOU are ready to let go...not being dictated to by some overbearing "healthy" government nutjob Dodgy

Seven and half bucks a pack (most of it taxes) make it a lot easier. So don't think there isn't any governmental coercion involved.

Good luck to both of you. Where there's a will, there's a way. Big Grin

I've never smoked before, so I don't know how hard it is to stop. But, with effort and willpower, you should be able to do it. Smile

Best of luck in quitting smoking Smile

Imagine giving up oxygen.

It's not quite that hard. But it's close. Cool Shades

Indeed, good luck.

Feel free to come here and shriek at the fundies if things get bad!

I would equate it to giving up your favorite food for the rest of your life. Do you love Italian food? Now don't eat another bite of marinara sauce for the remainder of your life.

.... at least that's how I see it.

None the less ... it has to be done. Confused

Just a quick query...are your packets a dull Olive green replete with Quit smoking advertising??
