Quitting is hard...my grandpa's been smoke-free for three years. He started smoking when he was 8, and did it all the way up until he was 72. I'm not sure what finally did it for him. He's still dependent on the chewing gum though, and he has no plans to reduce that, but it's way better than smoking his doctors say.

Both of my doctors actually took "smoker" off of my chart when I got to the point of just occasional smoking and stayed there awhile, but I'm not sure I agree that it was right of them to do so.

You are to be congratulated. Quitting, even cutting back, is not easy to do.

Mae West, who lived to 90, had a live-in lover 45 years younger than she was. When asked how she kept herself looking so young, she replied: 'I go to bed early, I meditate, I eat all the right foods, I don't smoke or drink alcohol and I believe in myself with a passion. You can only beat nature when you show the bitch who's boss!'

I've heard that Mae West quote before. It's nice, it sort of inspired me to quit smoking haha.

Mark Twain - "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times."

I'm on a good run of not smoking. Feels alright.

The best way is to tell as many people as possible that you are quitting and then also make bets with them which are all one sided.. that means you will owe them if you start.. make sure its a lot of money

then the day before you quit have a carton of ciggs and smoke every second and do not eat anything and you will get so sick you will not want one for at least 4 to 6 days.. then you will be free and all you have to do is work and work and work and pass the days... The bets will keep you smoke free since you will owe a fortune if you start..

smoking is terrible.. i started when i was 15 and quit at 18 and then started at 35 and quit at 37 and then started at 52 and finally quit again in 2007 after one yr of smoking..

I used the same principle every time and well it lasted for many years each time ... now i won't even allow a smoker to be near me
