I smoked for 30 years. Started very very young. Heck they were available to me. But I quit 20 years ago. I had a friend who is as stubborn as I am, and she had quit, so I figured, if she can do it so can I. And I did. Cold turkey. But I can't convince my DH to quit. And harping on him doesn't help. So I told him, I have more insurance on him, than he has on me. So he can kill himself if he wants to. I congratulate all of you who have quit and for those of you who haven't...what can I say....
