Those of you that quit smoking, how much money do save a year that you use to spend on cigs?

20 pack (aprox what i smoke a day) costs almost 9$ here....you do the math

Smoked (before that Copenhagen) for several years. Finally quit about a 1 1/2 ago. Still miss them. Especially after meals or while grilling. But you get over it. And it's nice not waking up feeling like my lungs are full of goo.

Good luck, man! I've heard it's difficult, but worth it. My best wishes are with you, the health benefits significant!

Quitting smoking sucks. I smoked 2 packs a day and quit cold turkey. After numerous tries, it finally took pride to get me to quit. My buddies told me there was no way I'd ever succeed, since I never had in the past.

The resolve to prove them wrong was enough. That was 10 years ago. The key for me was to just do it one day at a time. Every day I'd decide I couldn't do it, so I'd promise myself I'd start back tomorrow, but I HAD to finish today smoke free. Just the thought of having that cig "tomorrow", got me through "today". Then I'd do it all over again.

Sucked bigtime after dinner. Rest of the day it has just plain sucked.

My Wife smoked for 30 years but quit cold turkey Jan 1st 2003. The previous year she had slowly backed off the amount she was smoking.
She hasn't slipped up and is still going strong.

Get the nicotine patches, they will help greatly in controlling the
urge to smoke. Then think of all the money you will save by not smoking.

Just started day2....not as bad as i had thought.....yet

Ive decided to do this without nicotine gum, patches or other remedies. It may be harder, but the nicotine addiction will also leave my body sooner i suspect.

Gsholz.....ill get a _snusboks_ for saturday just in case i get the urge bad when i drink.

You know what did it for my Dad, who smoked for 15 years? One of his friends is a nurse and would do presentations of the dangers of smoking. She had in a sealed case, 2 preserved lungs...one from a long time smoker and a healthy lung. My Dad could never get that image out of his head after that, knowing what his lungs could look like if he continued.

Kind of a "shock n awe" approach...but it worked, he's going on 20+ years free of em.
