When I run into someone that expresses an interest in quitting, I tell them that will quit when THEY decide to quit. Nobody ever successfully nagged anyone to not smoke. I tried to talk my Mom into quitting in the mid-70's, and she really got upset with me so finally I quit trying. It has to be self-driven, which is what got me off the smokes.

My daddy was up to three packs a day for a long time. One morning, he went to light up and he just made the most horrible face. He crinkled that pack, threw it away and never touched another cigarette. I think a person has to reach that point to just kick them.

I tried quitting once for 5 days. The most miserable 5 days of my life. I wasn't ready. And I still enjoy smoking. Oh well. :)
