Default How I Quit Smoking

I quit 7 years ago after smoking for many years. I put a patch on and that really helped me. I also had 2 friends at work who really supported and encouraged me. Could you find 2 friends at work and let them know you are quitting? I had tried the ear clip and the gum before and I wasn't able to quit. I am so glad I did. I always thought that even if I could quit, I would always want a cigarette. That is not the case. I have no desire for a cigarette at all. Every once in a while (once a year?) I think about it and it passes in a few seconds. I am around smokers all the time and it doesn't bother me. I wish I had quit when I was your age. You don't need cigarettes and they don't do anything good for you. Smoking is just a terrible addiction and you don't really realize it until you quit.

If I can quit smoking, you can too. Good luck! Don't give up.
