Hey Krenik - keep working on your effort to quit smoking. Indeed - it can be done. Lotsa folks quite time after time after time. LoL
Seriously, stick with it. I am proof that one can permanently quit. I smoked for over 50 years and successfully quit COLD TURKEY following a heart attack in March 1989...and I have not smoked since!!! After surviving the heart attack I just made up my mind that I would not allow something as stupid as smoking kill me so I gave up tobacco following discharge from the hospital after that heart attack...20 years ago!
Several of us little tykes use to pick up butts off the street when we were in 1st grade. We would pinch off the burnt ends and put that in our mouths and light up the other end (had to be sanitary ya know) - could always get 2-3 puffs. We followed that by swiping one or two from our family member's packs, and any other way we could get 'em. I went in the service when I was barely 16 and in the PX cigs were 10¢ pack and 90¢ carton so cost was never a problem. Why did we smoke? - hell, all our heros smoked - movie stars, sports figures, etc., so smoking was cool before cool was cool. LoL
I celebrated my 77th birthday last month so just maybe quitting did save my life!
