[JeanLux]

Bravo!!!!
Never got the temptation to try only, just one again!??
Still after 25 years as a non-smoker, when having a walk, and there is one guy in front of me, who is exhaling cigarette-smoke, sometimes I remember :drool: !! Jean

 

[John Boy]

Well done you! I think now you have to celebrate, so: you should go, and buy a good few plants!!

Smoking sucks.

 

[Shiva]

Well done! I don't remember exactly the day I quit smoking in 1977, but it was during a hockey game between Montreal and Washington. The game was so bad and I was so fed up with smoking that I quit right then and there. I also stopped watching hockey games that day.

I remember when you started. Hard to believe it has been three years. I wish I could do the same. Congrats! :clap:

[cnycharles]

Well done. Keep up the good work. You can spend all the money you save on orchids.

David

and with tobacco taxes the way they are here in the states, that'll be a lot of money!
yay!

 

[Ernie]

Keep it up! So do you feel any different? Better, worse, cranky, happy? Ever calculate how much money you've saved? I hope you spent it on orchids.

My mom is a retired nurse and smoked forever. You'd think folks in medicine would know better, but they'd smoke in the ER in the 60s/70s. Now COPD forced her to quit and she is chained to an oxygen enricher 24/7. She can barely climb the stairs and has next to zero stamina at the age of 64.

My dad started in boot camp- if you didn't smoke, you kept working during breaks. Gee, which would you choose. He's cut back to two or three a day for my mom's sake, but he's headed down the same path.

The best way to make your kids not smoke is to put them in a car with smokers in winter. I used to hate that. Me and my brothers fighting for window seats so we could suck fresh air from a barely open window without freezing...

 

[biothanasis]

Well done!!! If you think what you have done so far these 3 years is good for yourself and the others around you then I guess there won't be any need to try.... you just do not smoke anymore...!! And this is a good achievement..!!!

 

[likespaphs]

thanks, y'all!
overall, i bet i feel better
i've had one super ultra mega craving in that time
and many small cravings
i was surprised it was as easy as it was for me, but i had a great support system.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Congratulations! I never smoked, but my mother was a smoker...left me with some screwed up lungs and an intense sensitivity to tobacco....I'll run to get past smokers on the street...and I remember those torturous car rides that Ernie mentioned. Good work! You should be proud!

 

[SlipperFan]

Good for you! That is a tough habit to break!
