Be careful, lady ! About now, I’ve got an attitude like a rattlesnake with a hernia !

You want to get lots of that cinnamon chewing gum. Atomic fireballs are good, too.

It’s easy to quit smoking. I’ve quit lots of times.

Coming up on six years and +30 lbs. for me.

My dad quit smoking and came down with cancer. No evidence until he stopped. But may have been coming anyway. I am waiting for the second hand to get me. Ahhh. Never mind. Live everyday. Have a great New Year everyone.

What a unique idea. More stores should have an aisle labeled “junk food”.

One and a half months smoke free but I think about cigarettes every day.

I was a smoker for 40 years, been off the cigarettes for 13 years this month.

Will be nine years this February. (took me a month to start, lol). I will still on occasion walk behind someone who just lit a cigerette. .Denver is too far for a smoke – Washington state is much closer. And they have good munchies. .Happy New Year!

I quit 35 years ago, and I never could stand the smell. The worst part was I had to stop drinking coffee for a couple of years. Every morning when I drink my first coffee, I want a smoke. – damn, that is addiction!

@Octagon- Fantastic. Hang in there. Remember to take it one day at a time. OK, I’m out of cliches. Seriously, I lost my Dad to smoking. Never go back, you’ll never regret it. I’m pulling for you.

What really amazed me, when I quit smoking, was that I could really taste food and stopped "salt poisoning " my foods. I use a fraction of the salt I used to, when I smoked.
