I just saw this thread :dontknow: . I smoked, regularly for 12 years, meaning 1/2 to a full pack a day. I started having asthmatic related problems. This all happened back in the early 1990's -- i.e., the problems. I quit cold turkey, no patches, no classes, therapy or other BS. All this, after I finally realized it was kinda stupid to be sucking on a smoke, exhaling that stuff and then in the next breath taking a hit off of an inhaler. I took my Camels (started with Newport Menthols and graduated to Marlboro and then to no filters, Camels/Malls, etc.) and lighter and threw them in the trash. I finally realized what's the point of this BS -- mind as well put a gun to my head to end it sooner. Since March 12, 1995, no somkey's for me, except on a few very rare occasions after I made the decision to quit. However, to this day, there is not a day that goes by I wouldn't take one. Anybody who decides to quit, no matter what the circumstances are should be given high credit. :congrats: It was and still is the hardest thing I could have ever done.
