Who here has quit smoking?

[skylord]

I smoked 3 packs a day for almost 30 yrs. I was driving down the Highway and for some reason with no thought about quiting, I tossed my pack out the window. Over the years I tried the patches and the gum and even got a prescription or two and that didn't even slow down my smoking, just got a double dose of nicotine. Cold turkey was the only thing that worked for me.

Side effects....people stayed away from me for a couple of weeks. I was like a bear with a sore paw.

About 3 months after quiting I was at a gas station and offered the clerk a toonie for one cig, took about 3 puffs and new I was finished. I am also a bad ex smoker. I cant stand the smell of stale smoke. People just walking into the room after a smoke stink and I cant stand that smell.....however I will go outside with a smoker and enjoy the smell of fresh smoke. It will be 8 years in Feb since I quit.

Don't even want to talk about the weight gains....
