Good luck to you all who are giving up the gaspers.

I've been off them for 8 years now.

It's not easy, bloody hard at first, but if you stick with it it gets easier.

Good luck Mark. I got sick of people telling me "If I can do it, anybody can"

I smoked 40+ per day and feel as if I'm paying the price 'healthwise' now.

Don't go there my friend....be stromg and resolute...it can be done.

I'm heading for my first smoke free anniversary.

Best of luck.

Quitting on your Birthday, you're strong willed!

Best of luck! I recommend patches but don't leave on overnight, you don't smoke during sleep.
Cheers.

Good luck man! I will be smoke free for one year on the 21st of this month. I started when I was about 12 and stopped when I hit 44. Things to help you quit:

1. gum helped me
2. cold turkey...just do it
3. remember how nasty these things tasted on the very first pack you had? Yep, nasty.
4. these things cause more stress then resolve
5. You smell better, your house smells better, your car smells better, your clothing smells better
6. you will feel better.

The journey begins! It felt odd leaving the house without the pack of smokes and lighter in my pocket. I had that "oh crap, I'm forgetting something" feeling.

So far so good. I'm just telling myself that not buying smokes at $6.50 a pack, I'm giving myself a nice raise.

Someone said on tv recently:

Ah-ha...you have discovered the first stressful thing these damn cigarettes create....you left the house and was stressing about your cigarettes! People stress over having enough for the day or enough for the night. So, that is the first thing on the list of why cigarettes create more of an issue for you than they will ever solve.

As far as money saved...you will notice a difference!
