Quit cold turkey on Great American Smokeout Day 27 years ago. Laid on the couch under a blanket like I was sick for three days. Got acne, gained 20 pounds, it wasn’t pretty. But a year later when I asked a friend for a cigarette, I was appalled by how awful it tasted. Oh, people would say “I bet you feel so much better” and I would say “not really” but it was going to kill me so I had to quit.
