![]() I quit smoking after having that nasty habit for about 25 years. Was having chest pains and went to see the doctor. He told me to quit if I wanted to get rid of the pains. He took a chest x-ray and everyting was ok. Got a prescription for Zyban, it worked really well for me. I had tried cold turkey and the patch before with no luck. About a year after quitting I started in this hobby. Been smoke free for 5 years. Good luck and stick with it.

![]() My dad was a 2 pack a day smoker for 20+ years. Then when I was in Gr.9 his doctor took an x-ray of his lungs & told him "See this, dead within 6 months." He quit cold turkey right then & there.
When he got home & told us, I wrote out a contract that he signed & all of us signed that if any of us ever caught him with a cigarette, even if he was just holding it for a friend, he would have to buy each of us a brand new vehicle of our choice. That would have been the world's most expensive cigarette ![]() We never did get our cars but we still have our dad ![]() My uncle, "the Doctor", was over for a dinner party a week later & all my uncles smoke so I asked him very politely not to smoke in front of my dad, since he was trying to quit & his doctor said it would save his life. This uncle decides not to listen to his nephew, whips out a cigarette, lights it & blows smoke rings in my direction. I smiled, went into my room, went to the washroom & filled up my water pistol, & put out his cigarette for him ![]() My only regret is that Super Soakers hadn't been invented yet ![]() ![]() ![]() Anthony |

![]() 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.... Scott |
