re: Dear Diary, I accidentally quit smoking...

I smoked for about 20 years. Quit once for 18 months and went back to it. I am calm dude and got really angry at a friend. It was weird, just went to the store and bout a pack. Now I have quit for about 10 years and don't ever think about it. Cravings left after about two years. But watch out when you get really sad or angry.

Know people that haven't had a cigarette in 15 years and say they still crave them daily

My mother smoked since she was a teenager. Nothing worked-gimmicks, willpower, pleading from her family. Two years ago a bout of flu put her in the hospital with respiratory complications, and the Dr. told her she had to quit, no excuses. She hasn't had a cigarette since, and it didn't seem that hard for her. When somebody is ready to quit, they will quit, but they have to be ready and have the right motivation.
