[QUOTE="Thad Enouf, post: 3274928, member: 48956"] I'm new here but I thought I'd chime in with my story about battling the smoking habit. I smoked for about 15 years and then my wife had surgery that basically forced her to quit. Needless to say, my smoking days were numbered. So I bought the patch and it worked wonders. I didn't feel the need to smoke and it was so successful that one day about six weeks after my quit date, I walked around thinking I was wearing the patch but had actually forgotten to put one on. That's when I knew that I had broken the habit. I have had my slip-ups, however. Not many, but I have probably smoked six cigarettes since October '06. Before that, I was at a pack a day so I'm not beating myself up over it. But I don't think the urge to smoke will ever go away. One thing is for sure....they won't be as good as you remember! Blech! All a quitter can do is fight that urge and replace the cigarette with sugarless gum or a mint, which is my choice. My biggest beef about not smoking is the weight gain. We're talking pounds being put on. So exercise is a must. Take my word for it. The pros of quitting are many: An extra $260/month between myself and my wife Being able to breathe without sounding like a plugged drain Food tastes better (see weight gain, above) Smokers smell nasty No more having to stand outside in the cold to smoke, while being glared at by the self-righteous non-smokers passing by. Lower chance of having to use oxygen tanks in old age. Best of luck to you. I know that if I can do it, anyone can. If you slip up and have one, don't worry about it. Just remove the opportunity to smoke. It does get easier. [/QUOTE]
