  1. Wow, the most compelling article to quit smoking I have ever read!

    I quit 30 years ago, took many tries, but I finally managed because I did it for my then boyfriend (now husband) as a Xmas present.

    Sometimes you gotta do it for somebody else you love!

  2. You also begin to smell better. Your mouth taste better and you do not have smokers breath

  3. Quit cold turkey on July 9, 2012 – it was one of the items on my daughters 15 birthday wish list.

    My father-in-law died of cancer on July 23, 2012 – life long smoker..

  4. quit smoking January 9 2012. Almost one year, can not be leave how much better i feel. I was always a very active person. hiking, bicycle, gym.

  5. After smoking for 20 yrs I quit cold turkey January 18th 2002 for 3 years – then started smoking again. I felt so much better/was exercising again/& was very proud of my accomplishment – but slowly slipped back into full time smoking after having 1 cigarette one night out having drinks with friends during a troubled time at my job. All my improved health/exersice & pride in what I had accomplished soon burned away with every cigarette I smoked. The sluggish tired feeling & shortness of breath returned all to soon & I couldn’t believe I had fallen back into that state. I was in that state for another 8 yrs. Well – I’m kicking the habit AGAIN!
    I quit cold turkey January 1st 2013 – and so far so good – it feels GREAT to not be smoking again.
    I guess my point is . . Never take the fact that you quit for granted . . and never give up trying to quit.

    1. Forgot to mention I have tryed all the nicotine placement products out there to no avail. So am doing it this time cold turkey and it’s working. And I am finding this to be the best way by far.

  7. My husband quit smoking after 40 yrs in Sept 2013. His biggest problem is not the not smoking but the indigestion/bloating. He did gain weight in the beginning, but is back on track now with his eating habits and is exercising also, but still dealing with the stomach stuff in a big way. Anyone else have that problem?

  8. I quit smoking 2 years ago and one of the first things I remember is how clear my skin became. I remember it used to be blotchy and greasy, I hate looking at old photographs!

  9. My mom is a frequent smoker until last year, when we learned about her heart condition with angina, that's the only time that she decided to quit. May this be a lesson to everyone, to quit smoking before it's never too late.

  10. Quit just under a month ago, on my 29th birthday, after around 15 years , just went cold turkey haven’t had one since. And I still have a couple in my kitchen. But haven’t touched them.
