Told myself from this moment on I’m a non smoker and never had another one. Was up to 2 packs of Red 100’s a day, I’d had enough.

I did. I quit cold turkey about 25 years or so ago.

Never smoked a day in my life. Basically every adult in my family smoked so I was around it my entire life. Hated the smell and the way my eyes would burn after going some place where everyone was chain smoking.
As an adult, you can just tell if someone smokes. They have that stench. Their clothes reek of it. There really isn't a way around it.

My ex wife didn't smoke until we went on our honeymoon. She got tipsy, someone offered her one and she started smoking the entire duration of the cruise. She had to buy an entire carton on the ship since they don't sell packs individually.
She smoked for like two months into our marriage and then stopped one day. The weirdest thing.

It does. It just helps with the symptoms rather than preventing anything.
The best thing for altitude sickness is viagra.

I smoked from age 14 to about two months ago (with a nice five year break from smoking during my 40s). Vaping helped at first, then tried Zyn and Rogue which helped me cut down on the vaping. Now I'm nearly weened off the Rogue, which seems to be a lot easier to forget to partake in than those cigarettes have been over the years.
It's nice to not smell like a goat's arse, to not spend seven to ten dollars every days for a habit/addiction, and to not wake up every morning and cough so much that I need to push my lungs back down my throat with a broom handle.
It'll be even better to toss the vape and the can of Rogue and not rely on those crutches either. Should be completely free of the devil within a couple more weeks at most.
Quitting smoking is tough. The first three days are a pain, and then there's still that little twinge that calls to you over the course of the next few weeks. After a couple months of not smoking, breathing clean air becomes a nice habit and feels normal again.

I only smoked when I drank. That was quite often at times.
This is me. I’ve been doing it since college and still power through five per night. If I’m not drinking, I find it absolutely disgusting. It is what it is.

Smoked for about 9 years from 94 to 03 in high school and college. Quit everything after graduating college. More of breaking the habit than addicted to nicotine. Lots of candy and gum.

Smoked a pack to a pack and a half a day for about 17 years. Been on nicotine pouches for about 9 months, but I'll still rip a drunk cig every now and then.

I smoked about a pack a day from 1997-2011… Last one was on 12/31/2011 around 11:00 pm.. I wanted kids and wanted to stop before trying.. I changed my habits and tried to not drink for 2-4 weeks (drinking & smoking easy way to fail)… Have not even had a drag of a cigarette since 2011..
My son was born in November of 2012, so it worked !

How I quit: Here's the secret:
Most Important - you have to really decide to do it.
THEN do not wait 'til you 'fiinish this pack" - You put that half pack of cigarettes right in your shirt pocket and go about your day.
Within the first minute, you will 'quit smoking' about 100 times, once for every time you don't reach for that pack in your shirt pocket.
That's about it - the secret is forcing yourself to NOT smoke 1000s of time in quick repetition. That has worked for me THREE times (no joke)
Why did I fall off the wagon?
1st time - I was working in St Louis when the Surgeon General first required that the 'cancer warning" had to be put on all cigarette packaging. When I got to work that was the "word of the day" everyone was talking about it.
Me, being somewhat of a smartass - said "Hey!!!! - I ain't skeered - gimme a cigarette" - someone handed me one, and by the end of the day, I'd visited the cigarette machine.
2nd time - I'd been smoking for a few years when my good friend & (his)wife had a baby. He passed out cigars - and for a few of his best friends he gave us really, really, GOOD cigars. We all lit them up in celebration. And they tasted SO GOOD - I began smoking cigars. But I could not afford the good ones - and I finally ended up back on cigarettes.
What was the FINAL TIME?? = When my daughter's 13th birthday was approaching, 1973, she came to me a week beforehand and said "Dad, All I want for my birthday is for you to quit smoking." === I started my routine a week before, and was done with it quickly.
SO - I haven't smoked since early July 1973

I did from 16 til about 25. Still crave it to this day but it isn't worth it.

Used to smoke a pack of camel lights a day for years. When I quit I just threw the rest of my pack I had in the garbage and that was that, wasn't difficult.

I don’t smoke but I keep a pack of camel cigs tucked in my tee shirt on my upper left arm. Nobody messes with me, esp if I have my hair combed straight back. Girls swoon.

Never smoked regularly but I do when I drink which is about one night a week.
Used to smoke a pack or more in my 20s when going out to a bar. Now I might smoke 2-3 cigs when I have some drinks. Don’t enjoy it as much as I used to

Smoke from about age 18 till 32ish. Glad I quit.
It's a damn shame any form of nicotine is bad for the human body because IT IS SO DAMN GOOD!
