hi there....

I only smoked a little in college but my dad was quite the smoker when I was very young. After his dad and brother dies from lung cancer, and my brother had lung problems, he was very motivated to quit. He went to a program called smoke-enders. I do not know exactly but, basically they educate you, you trade stories about when and why you smoke, and you gradually cut back how many you smoke. He has seen many people quit this way after being a teacher. Good Luck to you

I quit 7 years ago, after smoking for 23 years. Basically used a patch for a couple weeks and fortunatley, my wife quit the same time, which helped immensly. But I had tried to quit many times prior to this, so here is what made the difference, this time.

I had been having medical tests run for a few weeks preceding my quit. The doctor finally call me in and say "look, theres nothing medically wrong with you, so we can attribute your digestive troubles to IBS (code for irritable bowel syndrome, which means they have no clue and no cure). He proceeds to give me my new diet regimen excluding caffeine, nicotine and sugar (the staples of my very existence.:eek:, up until that point!

So I say, "Doc, there has got to be another way !".

He pulls out a pair of "Depends" from the med drawers and says, "Sure, wear these.".

I quit the 3 basic food groups noted above that following week and within 3 months my stomach problems improved tremendously.

Diahreah saved my lungs.

I know,,,TMI.:mrgreen:
