I smoked for about 8 months. I was up to almost a pack a day, and then I got sick with the flu or something, and I just quit cold turkey. Haven't had one in almost 2 months now. It's all in your mind.

if your going to pump it and juice it, why smoke or drink?

I spoked when I was in high school and for a bit in college. Then I watched my grandmother go through lung cancer. She died within 6 months, but in the end the mass in her lungs was gone. She ended up dying from emphysema that was accelerated by her chemo. So we bascially watched her die suffocating. I quit cold turkey. I've had a drunken cigarette here and there, but I quit about 8 years ago.

ever so true statement.

 

[CipherLock]

Only drugs.

 

[stuffperson]

smoked cigars for about 6 months, then cigarettes and cigars for a year. Quit cold turkey. I was only "able" to quit when i quit doing drugs & drinking also.

 

[Boulder257]

smoked for about 6 years, then quit. I started working out after I quit because I started to feel better and have more energy. The rest, is history...

 

[PoyeBoy]

I smoked on and off since I was 15, I would quit for a few months, then smoke 1 every few days

I never really smoked that heavily, only when I was drinking, sometimes I would buy a pack, rarely though

I quit for good a few weeks ago, I was like, okay this tastes like shit, makes me smell like shit, and it will kill me and hinder my cardiovascular system

so really, there are no positives, only negatives, actually its a pretty easy choice

 

[curling]

Does it count that I use to smoke then quit then got sued 9 times and then I started again?

 

[from zero]

I'm glad you all quit.

 

[Fragadelic]

I just started smoking a few months ago when I turned 43 -- figured it was a good idea

 

[SC4EVA]

[Shak]

i started smoking in high school and smoked through college. after i graduated, i smoked on and off for a couple more years.

i don't smoke at all anymore.

 

[Dial_tone]

I smoked for a week in 9th grade. I used to steal my dad's cigarettes then break them in half. i was afraid I'd get addicted if I smoked the whole thing. In college I'd smoke if I got drunk enough and somebody offered.

 

[hardrock]

smoked for 13-14 years. Quit about a year ago. I now only smoke when I drink.

smoked all through high school, and my freshman year in college and then saw my grandmother die of lung cancer... it took her 9 months to die almost a full year... with trips to Houstons Chemo facility and cancer ward every month or so and back to Dallas for monitoring. It shook me hard. But it the funny thing is that she quit smoking some 20 years before she contracted lung cancer. That is what really got me thinking.....

Been smoke free for 5-6 years.
