Quit now for over a decade.
I quit altogether probably 5 times. Twice seriously.
I had gotten off them once, but fell off the wagon when I moved to a country everyone smokes, and guys are almost expected to smoke. I fell quite lamely for peer pressue, and didn’t really stand a chance after the very first puff.
I stopped again after returning stateside, and so far this time has worked.
Don’t miss it now. Even the one in my hand driving, on the stick shift.
My secret was - to stay out of bars for the first several months, completely.
Funny you mention that. The last time I quit, then started again, was because I couldn't drive without one.
I don't go to bars anymore, haven't in eons. It's the driving.
I should start saving up money now for taxis. When I have a month saved for them, is when I should quit. That was my only problem.....driving without a butt in hand.
I tried the fake water vapor "cigs"....not the same. I have to hold them w/ 3 fingers. NOT the same as my butts!
