When
YOU want to quit you will. I did, no chantix, no patch, and no nicotine gum. Just woke up and quit. I did use spearmint gum for the 1st week or two. I quit while my girlfriend kept smoking. I smoked from 17 to 43. I found the habit harder to kick than the addiction.
The one thing I never new about when I was smoking was how bad I stank. If you smoke you stink guaranteed.
the reason:
A friend of mine who at the river with the gang Sep '05, was found up in northern cal Feb 06, not far from a mountain cabin he owned part interest in, he had blown his head off. Turns out unknown to any of us he had severe emphysema from smoking 40 years. He had thrown up blood all the way up the mountain to the small pond where he was found frozen in the snow.
That made me quit. I was done. March '06
The next year my next-door neighbor got diagnosed with lung cancer from smoking. It was May '07. He would sneak and smoke outside by his truck so his wife wouldnt see him during his chemo treatment. I would chastize, beg, okay it you're life blah blah. Everytime I saw him. He went for a surgery to remove the tube that leads down to one side of his lung. Turned out that his whole lung was bad and they had to take the whole thing. He became septic after that and was placed in doc induced comma. Never made it back. Sep '07 toast.
When you want to quit you will or you can choose not to by sheer lack of willpower, weakness. Al it boils down too.
