I've been smoking for over 40 years and have quit for short periods over that amount of time.
About ten years ago, I went from cigarettes to those little filtered cigars.

Only problem is, I was inhaling the cigars which is probably worse than inhaling the cigarettes.
I was just kidding myself with the cigars.

I quit because I have 2 small grandchildren and another coming next month.
They are the joy of my life and I want to be around for them as long as I can.

I quit cold turkey......It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm over the worst of it (I think)
I haven't even had one puff since Dec. 18th.
I really don't see myself ever smoking again.

Congrats and I hope you stay on the right path.

Four years ago I got Chantix (http://www.chantix.com/) and have been smoke free ever since.

With Chantix the thought of having a smoke was there all the time the first couple of months, but the overwhelming urge to go and buy a pack or light one up was not there.
