Gave up smoking many years ago. it was the best thing I ever did.
I've lost several friends in the last few years to lung cancer.
If you're STILL smoking...PLEASE quit ASAP as your LIFE depends on YOU!

Now if only I can STOP eating all that damn CHOCOLATE!

never have - never will - and sorry, angelle - never have dated a woman who does - so that 3-some of ours is off unless you stop smoking between now and august 16. sorry
angelle - a great way to stop it this.
think about how much you spend on cigs every day. multiply that by 365 to find out how much you spend on them every year (that's not even including the extra you pay for insurance and all other costs).
now - odds are we are talking a couple $1,000 a year - if not more. at your age - if you took that money and invested it - by the time you retire - that money will have gone from a few $1,000 to MANY $1,000. if that alone doesn't make you quit - nothing will.

Unfortunately, about a pack and a half per day, more when I'm out drinking.
I woke up one morning and decided to quit cold turkey a few years ago. It was surprisingly easy. It was also surprisingly easy to be right back on the wagon after a trip to Florida with some buddies of mine. As soon as you try to sneak even one, you are eright back where you started.
I'll probably quit for good in the next 1-2 years.

Ms T, I think the hypnosis thing is subjective.. I know 2 people who went to a hypnotist and 1 said it helped, the other not.
My mother-in-law had acupuncture and said it took away the urge to smoke immediatly. I don't know how practical that is though. I have a feeling if I started jonsing for a smoke I'd be poking myself with pins randomly instead of making another appt.
It seems to me that patches or nicorette gum and determination help people over the hump better than anything else. I agree with drunkguy. As soon as you light up that 1st one, it's all over. I don't know anybody who "cheated" and didn't start up again.

They're so damn expensive that I been forced to order them from overseas...one of the many things that government regulations have pushed "offshore". Although I get them for $15 a carton, they're normally a little stale and take 3-4 weeks to get here.
Still, it's better than paying $8-9 perpack like my buddies in NYC.
