I thought I would be mean and nasty also but as it would have it, I was not. You just have to have the mindset that you are in fact ready to walk away from them. It is a chemical dependency and it is also mental. If you can kick the mental aspect kicking the chemical aspect is much easier. I'm also a firm believer in quiting cold turkey. Substitues or reducing your smoking do not help IMO. It just prolongs the quiting process. Really man, once you quit the world smells a whole lot different. You notice your house smells like smoke, clothing stinks, your car is a rolling ashtray. Both my parents smoke and when I arrive to their house I can begin to smell the smoke just entering their garage.

Again, it is not easy for some. Just keep at it. If you get a craving find something to do to get over the craving. That is what I did. Soon you find yourself much more productive as you are going to do things instead of sitting around pulling back on a smoke.

Oh, the biggest thing you get out of this....breathing! Good Lord, I can breath now. I do not get out of breath just tying my shoes. It is so nice to breath. Breathing...in the long run really helps.
