Who has quit......

smoking and stay this way or have went back smoking after surgery?..Me, I have been trying to quit and slow down tremendously...I'm down to half a pk of cig's a day now....with the help of patches and the *QUEST* program....

I quit before and then started 2 years after surgery and after 3 months of a pack a day i decided to quit after i found out i was pg so quit again. Its really better to quit

Well..I finally took the pludge to not smoke....I do however still smoke the *QUEST* with no nicotine...on step "3"......I'm slowly learning not to carry them with me....and Congratz,Marsha....I know its hard but yes it is much better not to smoke....period!

I quit last Jan.. I quit once before a few years back too. Funny story on how i psych myself to quit the first time and sad story on my excuse for starting again. I have to psych myself up to quit. The last time I just got where I was tired of not being able to breath and i always for some wierd reason got where i couldnt stand the taste of cigerettes. And I treated myself to a new car So now I cant afford cigerettes. I still want a cigerette sometimes but I tell myself that I like breathing and that awful taste Ugh!!! dont mess it . The coughing and gagging all the time. Heel!!!!!!! no I wont go back.Stay positive that you want to get healthy and that includes your lungs. Good luck marie

hey Cams ... I quit a few years ago, but I gotta tell ya ... the past few weeks I've had VERY STRONG cravings for a smoke. I've been so close to pull into a gas station to buy a pack, but I keep telling myself, if I buy a pack, I'll have to smoke the pack ... and I just want one!! Well, that's curbed me so far ... I don't know ... I think I may need someone to hold me back!! Karyn

Ya I know what you mean.....I actually stop smoking the *QUEST* yesterday and so far no cravings just reminders when someone smokes in front of me....So, I'm making my home a NON-smoking one....If ppl dont like it and dont come around then they just dont...Its time to think about myself and what smoking does to you....I breathe better...smell better...and to tell you the truth I feel so much better knowing I dont have to depend on a cig to get me going in the morning... and the smell...OMG! when I go to visit someone and that person is close to me that smokes I cant stand it....I have to either leave the room or spray room refresherner...or just leave lol....ah! dont get me wrong I still have the urge to light one....but having them no where around me helps too....So, I'm like you if I buy a pack..its there to smoke ....so I pass all Farm Freshes stores and stations.... Just say *NO* to
