Over two years in the non-smoker category. It feels great. It feels even better when you finally have control over the ball and chain of cigarettes.

Buy the book. Free yourself of the physical and financial burden of cigarettes.

Newest addition to those kaleuns who don't foul up a convoy attack beacuse of a cigarette glow. One and half week without cigarettes and finally I'm feeling better

Smoked 17 years, pretty much half of my life, some 1 pack a day.

Good show sir! You will feel better physically and mentally because you conquered nicotine!

Two years now, smoke free.

I'm down to almost half a pack per month. And these I even don't smoke for real...just holding them in the hand slowly burning down.^^ But the amount of chewing gum I'm consuming now is rising higher and higher.

Must stop completely now, because I got a nicotin allergy...after 9 years of smoking.

It's been ages since I posted in this thread, just got an email notification after your post.

Since my enthusiastic post here I kept failing time and time again. While I am getting older and certainly notice the health drawbacks of this addiction, stressful circumstances made me go back so many times. The most stupid part is that by now I begin to notice the positive effects on the body after quitting even after one day - still I eventually fail.

I'm considering a "frontal assault" now: I'll have to move soon. If I manage to stay clean during those days, I'm hopefully prepared to deal with other stressful situations as well.

My father is dying from COPD. He was just in ICU for 3 weeks, then to rehab, but he signed out the first day so he could smoke. Dr's give him less than 6 months so he is at home with hospice....still smoking.

Read the book McBeck suggested. It worked for me and my wife. Allen Carr, Stop Smoking the Easy Way. The book re-engineered our mind and what cigarettes really are. We have been smoke free for 3 plus years now.
