Kudos and more kudos and even more kudos to all who are trying to quit ... or who have quit .... or are quitting everyday! For many it's a daily struggle! My pops smoked for 40+ years, couldn't quit. My brother has finally quit after 35+ years! Know that we're rootin' for ya!

I just realized today is the 7th year anniversary of the day I become a non-smoker... cold turkey at that. It is one of the best choices I have made in my entire life. I never looked book, and just kept telling myself, "I don't smoke."

If you have quit, congratulations! You made a great choice and you deserve to be proud of yourself! Cheers!

If you are trying to quit, please know you can do this. One of the major things that helped me to quit other than just putting them down and never lighting another one, was to change my thinking with regards to smoking.

You can quit without all of the cravings and mood swings, by making a plan, telling yourself truthful positive things, and alter any routines you have now that involve smoking. For instance if you generally light up after a meal, plan ahead to do something different for that 10 minutes. Brush your teeth, if you feel a craving coming on, and drink water. Also know that cravings only last for a couple of minutes before vanishing. Best wishes!

I think I am on my 6th or 7th anniversary of my last ciggie so if you are trying to quit, just know that it CAN be done.

I was a smoker off and on for about 15 years and had quit a couple of other times but finally had that "Yeah, this is nasty" moment and quit for good.

I don't miss smelling like smoke all the time or worrying if I needed another mint before kissing someone and I sure the fuck don't miss the expense. I come from a long family history of smokers and many of them still do so there has been a bit of adjustment around the social aspect during the holidays but it's so worth it.

I can't recommend a decent method. I didn't do patches or gum or anything. I vaped for awhile on 0 nicotine vapes but that kinda made me feel gross too so I stopped even doing that.

Good luck to all who are trying to quit and CONGRATS to those who have!

If you want to quit, just do it! You know you can. Think of something very difficult that you just put your shoulders back, chest out, straightened your hat, and stood tall with head up, bucked up and did.

Just be determined you can kick ass!

I quit alcohol then heroin then tobacco all the same way (cold turkey) so if you want it, you can get it.
