| Finally quitting the cigs! I've wanted to for a while now and just finally decided today not to go and buy more. I smoked the last one at 6:30 am. Doing okay so far, with short bursts of wanting to break things WHY OH WHY did I ever start again last time?!?! Wish me luck (and pray for my poor family )

| I want to wish you much luck. I was a smoker for 10 years when I was younger. I quit cold turkey. I haven't had one in 20 years. It was tough but don't give in. Good luck!!

| Good for you I am sure with will power and determination you'll be fine. Make sure you have lot's of low calorie snacks available when you get the urge. Good luck to you and congratulations on getting healthier. |

| Wishing you every success in this awesome decision! I know first hand how difficult it will be -- but so very worth it! I quit over 9 years ago. I cut drinking straws to the right length and stuck them in my mouth when I needed a fix, especially while driving. Sometimes it helped just to have them to fiddle with in my hand. I also used patches, went to a hypnotist, tried accupunture, and read all the websites I could find. I would try a little of everything. Finally got through it. Every once in a while I still get an urge. But knowing how hard it was to kick it always helps me ignore the urge. You might even want to join one of the online Quit Smoking forums. Helps to keep affirming the decision to quit and have someone to talk with when it gets tough. Best of luck to you!

| thanks to all for the encouragement I have quit a few times before (pregnancies, surgeries, etc.) but always took it back up again. I hate that about me! It's so hard to quit, so I know I have to not be tempted into it again. NO MORE!!!! I'd like to be able to breathe and not stink Been smoking off and on since I was 10 years old. My babysitter at that time had a 15 year old daughter that taught me to smoke, and thought it was so funny and cute I wish I could punch her in the nose right about now I have some nicotine gum that I'm using, I've chewed 4 pieces of that today.. It does help, but OMG the heartburn it gives me is almost not worth it. I'll just use it as a last resort, after I've exhausted the sunflower seeds in the shell, celery and carrot sticks, and hard candies.

| Good luck!! I quit almost 2 years ago.. I was a smoker for 6 years. It made me feel so much better about myself! Granted I gained a few lbs. bc i was alway eating, but it was sooo worth it. I tried chantix but it gave me very violent nightmares so I went cold turkey! I still get cravings to this day here and there when I am stressed but I don't give in. Once again good luck and let me know if you need anything.. you have been such a good friend to me!
