Considering quitting and getting healthier in 2013
clarinetguy:
Thanks guys for the encouragement- I am going to try to do this once and for all this time. Just wish I did not enjoy it so much still and to be honest since going sly I feel like it enhanced the look of me smoking for some strange reason. Walking is an excellent replacement- that being said we just had a snow storm with slush and ice underneath.

It has been known for years that it is very bad for you. I also think that is just plain doesn't smell good. Nor is it really cool to have a flaming stick of weeds sticking out or your mouth? I have never gotten the attraction to cigarettes? My mom and my grandmother smoked like chimneys and I got to smell it in the back seat of the car and hated it as a child!
Anyway, I am not trying to be harsh on anyone. Nor do I want to throw stones. I know I have my issues with food that could kill me if I don't finally lose the weight. To me the only thing that differentiates overeating with smoking is that one has to eat to live. But why would anyone want to start smoking?
Having said that, I hope that all of you who are trying to quit are successful in your journey! O0

I started smoking when I was 7 yoa my girlfriend stole them from her mom and we wanted to act growen up. :/O Back in the day of the 50's -60's it was cool to smoke and stink ;D It was on TV and the tough guys smoked. I wish I had never started and have paid the price for it. I don't smoke today for that is the main thing. Hope marshd1000 answered your question.

Give. UP.
Best decision I ever made. My life was governed by when I would have my next cigarette. I loved it and enjoyed it but I was a slave to it. 40 a day (two packs)
3 years off. Now enjoy running.
You'll feel the benefit

Well for me, my dad was a 4-5 pack a day smoker all my life growing up. I never noticed a smell because frankly, even in middle school my clothes were full of the smell. It was normal. I started smoking at 15. My dad used to send me to the store to buy his smokes for him and back then it wasn't any huge deal for minors to buy cigs for their parents so I started buying an extra pack for myself. I still smoke now. Kept going through High School and College, even though I played baseball and football and scored myself an extra 6 laps for every cig I was caught with (pain..so much pain). It's only now that I'm 32 and my once 44 inch chest has relocated to my mid-section and I'm considering getting back on the thrice a day workout wagon, that I'm considering putting the damn things down.

Quitted 2 years ago. Avoiding occasions and changing habits when i used to smoke helped at the beginning.
Saving the money to get into a new Hobby helped as well. (i had over 200 $ a month)
It feels good not to smoke anymore.
Good Luck !
