I smoke a couple stogies with my buddy like every other month. But that's usually just when we're at a bonfire.

I smoke and it's really hard to quit. I began b/c I liked the texture and smell of the tobacco. It goes especially well with beer and coffee when socializing. I should quit though...

I used to smoke cigarettes, but not any more. Now I just puff the good stuff every now and then.

I used to be a light smoker- just a few a day, but I quit 2 years ago cold turkey- My Doctor told me if I didn't my back wouldn't fuse after the surgery I needed, so I really had no choice.
It's a damn hard thing to quit smoking, anyone who does it has my respect.

Now I smoke a couple cigs a year on spacial occasions- when drinking with brothers or something- but thats it.

Of my four kids (all adults now and married) only two of them took up smoking. My younger son still smokes and wishes he had never started. One of my 'steaming and stewing' episodes took place when I discovered it was HE who got my younger daughter started smoking!!! Talk about wanting to wring someone's neck!

Thankfully, about 3 years ago, both she and her husband quit smoking 'cold turkey'.

My late step-father grew up on a tobacco farm in KY. He started smoking when he was only 5 years old. At age 28 he was smoking 2 1/2 - 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a day! He also quit 'cold turkey' at that age.

From every source I've ever read, the 'cold turkey' method is the only one that really works....but, it's the hardest.

I really do sympathize with anyone who got hooked on this and is wanting and trying to quit. I don't judge you, I encourage you to do everything in your power to be successful.

On a really bright note, my step-father had an exam at one time when he was in his late 50s. After the exam, the doctor told him, "You must have never smoked. Your lungs are as clean as a whistle."

So, if that can be an encouragement to you, use it. Quitting now does pay some nice dividends later on.

Cheers!

Doesn't that suck?
My girlfriend that I live with smokes too- I quit with her smoking in the house - You want to talk about hard. Man that was a pain to sit and watch her smoke, but not be able too- It makes me think about it all the time too- and smell it. Must.... stop.... thinking... about it.
