I smoked for 37 years. Quit about 12 years ago. I knew if it got bad enough, I could always start again. It didn't get that bad. I rarely think about it now.
It is mostly a matter of attitude. If you really want to quit, you will do it. I am glad I quit for several obvious reasons. It still ****** me off for some meddling bastard(s) to tell me I can't smoke.Like (1)

I believe the most important thing is that you have to WANT to quit first. I used those nicotine patches, and found them very successful,still requires some willpower though. There are a few different products available to help, and a lot of it is trial and error, I do wish you the best of luck with it. You will feel better if you do quit though, honestly !

It took me 5 times before it took for good. When it did take, I was really okay with it. I had the right motivation. I have been smoke free for nearly 17 years, and I did it without any aids. I quit the day my daughter told me she was moving out because she didn't want to live in a house full of smoke while she was pregnant and didn't want to bring her baby home to a smokey home. We washed all the curtains and everything that was washable in the place. Shampooed the carpets, washed walls and woodwork. Steam cleaned mattresses and all upholstery. I was too busy to feel withdrawal and by the time the first 72 hours were done, I felt so good about my home and how clean it smelled.
