I smoked 1-1.5 packs a day for about 34 years. Right after my grandson was born 8 years ago, I was on vacation at my daughter's house and ran out of cigarettes. I wanted to see my grandson grow up, so instead of going to the store for more, I just quit, and it was the best thing I ever did. Except for gaining 30 pounds!!! So now I'm working on heatlhy eating - I have 3 grandchildren now to consider. Amazing how they can be the hammers that hit you over the head and wake you up to what you are doing to yourself. To all here who have quit - congratulations!!!!!!
