Comments to add - My motivation for quitting was my newborn daughter. Nothing less ever budged me no matter how many times I had tried to quit before.
I remember my doctor looking me right in the eye and asking if I wanted to lead her down the isle at her wedding. When I, of course, said yes, he replied, “Well then you better quit smoking or you’re going to be dead.”
Quitting is the hardest thing that I have ever done by far.
Good luck in the science fair.
