I am an x-smoker as well. I quilt over thirty years ago after smoking for about 15 years. The way to do this seemed quite simple to me...I did not stop smoking, I stopped buying cigarettes. Cannot smoke what you do not have. I have not bought any cigarettes since they went up to a dollar a pack. I figured it was a waste of money, did I mention I am a bit of a cheapo...er I mean very thrifty.
