Have any of you done the " quit smoking " thing ?

[ezdays]

Yup, tried that close to 50 years ago and it's worked. Kudos to those here that have had health issues and were able to quit in time, and to those that have quit just because they didn't want any health issues. I started when I was just a teenager and it was cool. Everyone in movies did it, and tobacco ads where everywhere and they were only fifteen cent a pack, a far cry from today's prices which makes me wonder why anyone would start now knowing what kind of issues that smoking causes and today's costs. When I quit, there was only one way, cold turkey and it was tough, but I got through it by giving up everything else that I used to do when I smoked. That meant giving up beer and a few group sporting things, but after about a year, I was able to go back doing them without smoking. So perseverance and education should be enough to get anyone through the process today....
