It would've been an $8.00 a day habit. I've saved thousands of dollars and a boost in health as a side effect. Well, I did put on some poundage at first, which I'll conveniently blame on r.f.c. ![]() I can smell cigarette smoke 50 feet away and it smells noxious. Andy |

"Andy" q wrote in message ... Wednesday, Sept. 1st, 2004, 10:00 AM. I finished my last cigarette, cold turkey. Three years smoke-free! Cigarettes, give 'em up!!! Congratulations, Andy. It is six years for me, I don't remember the date. No smoker listens to ex-smokers, you know. They quit when ready, ifat all. I miss my cigarettes. We had a lovely relationship, so nice in fact that I still have a hard time believing they would ever actually WANT to harm me. Problem is, the weight I put on after quitting (now nearly gone) might have killed me to. In the war against obesity, quitting smoking is not a positive thing. (Food tastes better, too, and even if it did not, most would eat more due to the pacifier effect.) Best things about quitting: not smelling gross and not knowing it, no more nicotine fits, and the extra money you have. Keep up the good work! If you're like me, you find it hard to believe you ever smoked as much as you did. I was a two-packer. |

I had smoked all the way through with my boys but nobody had said at that time that it was harmful. |

I quit in 1983. Two reasons. I got tired of that elephant sitting on my chest every morning. And the price of a carton of cigarettes had hit $5 and I thought it ws highway robbery. And another bonus for you is that you won't look old before your time. Women get scary fugly when they smoke a lot. Smoking does a number on a woman's face (because of the vasoconstriction on the minute blood vessels) that should be a deterrent enough if they could see into the future, eh? |

I finished my last cigarette, cold turkey. Three years smoke-free! Cigarettes, give 'em up!!! Three years this september for me too. Cannot remember the date. I'd quit for seven years; got sick and decided if I was going to die anyway, I would start smoking again. Stupid!! It's a lot easier to quit today than it was several years back. I 'll never smoke again. e. |
