My Dad quit also - about 5 years after I did. He was going to have a colon surgery to remove some polyps (like Reagan had), and they asked him to not smoke 24 hours prior (I think). He had the surgery and decided to just not pick 'em up again. He tells me it was easy for him. I'm not sure if I really believe that, because it was he** for me when I quit. Of course, he's never lied to me, and my brother tells the same story about his kicking the habit....

You've got to REAlLY HATE it in order for quitting to be easy. I have found that people who are 'forced' into quitting, can not. Most people who smoke really enjoy it. When you enjoy something, it's not easy to give it up. If I come to hate smoking, I will quit. So far, I haven't gotten to that point.
