Keep it up, Bruce! I made it, quit smoking 11 years ago. Life is much better not chained to cigarettes. It gets easier the longer you go without.
Well done!

Congratulations and good luck sticking with it.
Wish I'd have quit before it caused so much damage.

Atta Boy, Bruce. I started smoking in 1962 and quit in 2018. Grit your teeth and hang in there.
You can beat it Bruce. My father started smoking about 1916 and smoked 3 packs of Camels daily till about 1960. He quit cold turkey. Yes things were a "bit tense" around the house for a couple weeks, but we all made it through!
Good luck!
Good luck!

Locally smokes run around $10 a pack.
At that price I don’t see how anyone could afford them.

OH boy, you're gonna turn into one of those guys, an ex-smoker.
GOOD FOR YOU.
I finished the last cigarette, out of my last pack, out of my last carton in about 1985. Now getting off toothpicks afterwards, that was a real bear.
Now I am one of those guys, an ex-smoker. Can't stand to be around them. Pull up to a red light in traffic and I can smell someone burnin one in the gaggle of cars stopped.

Quit the day I had my heart attack 3 years ago. Had tried many times before. Started in 1973 when I was 17. Stick with it Bruce !!!!
Bruce, Bless you, stay strong. I just wish I had the courage to give the last habit that will kill me sooner than later.

You will soon start having "smoking" dreams.
Don't let them fool you! Hang in there!!

Good luck! My father said it was easy for him to quit - he'd done it hundreds of times...

Start washing your clothes now! You'll discover how fowl they smell as your nose regains its ability to detect odors.

I was a fairly heavy smoker until I was about 45. Then one day I simply decided to stop, and I did. No easing off, just cold turkey. At least for me it was fairly painless.
My wife was a heavier smoker, and it became a real bone of contention between us. She tried all sorts of things, none of which worked. She finally tried Chantix, and that did work. About 10 years after quitting, she did get lung cancer. Fortunately it was caught early, but she still lost half of one lung and had to go through a month of radiation treatments.

it's a shame that our lovely government destroyed the vape industry.
It's very difficult for the user to take control of the system as they could when it was new.
Basically, I transitioned from smoking to vaping.
After that, I mixed my own E juice making reductions in strength till the addiction broke.
Today, when I get a craving, its for my vape rig rather than a cigarette.
if I falter I have some 0mg on a shelf somewhere.
Its been at least 3 years since the last such episode.
The system worked painlessly and had capacity for future maintenance, We can't have the easy way anymore.
best of luck to you.

Congrats! Another 40+ years ex smoker and quit bout 15 years ago. One of the tricks i learned after, but didn't spend for, was to hire a cleaning service to fully clean your home and vehicle. While likely expensive, if ya can afford it it would be worth it.
The last pack of cigarettes I bought the price was .39 cents. Now, I did smoke a pipe or cigar occasionally until I needed a stent in my coronary artery about 22 years ago. Then totally quit.
The delicate smells of spring in the woods I hadn't enjoyed in many years. You'll be glad you stuck it out.

I quit for 10 years, lost it when wife died and started again. Fought it for 15 more years and have been free for 6 years now.
