I've never tried to quit before and Please, I don't need the bloody details of my inevitable demise.

Well I hope you don't have to go through it - they say that if you stop your lungs recover - I think that is true for the most part but smoking is playing with a loaded gun and nobody ever thinks it will go off, even though it goes off everyday.

Like you I smoked for a lot of years - I loved it - in fact I still love it - at times I want to follow people who are smoking (second had stuff) but I did quit, it was hard, but many have done it - I wish you the best of luck with it.

Maybe that is exactly what you DO need. I heard this story from a former smoker years ago. He was having trouble quitting smoking and he feared cancer of the larynx. He made himself think about what it would be like to have cancer of the larynx every time he smoked a cigarette. After about 3 weeks of this he threw the cigs away and never missed them. He had scared himself into quitting.
