I smoked real heavy for about 30 years, then one time I caught the flu and laid on my couch sick and not being able to smoke for about a week or so, when I started feeling better I lit up a cigarette and it choked the hell out of me. I looked at that cigarette and thought to myself you haven't smoked since you got sick, if you start this dumb shit all over again you have got to be the stupidest person in the world. I put the cigarettes down and quit cold turkey, I suffered for about 2 weeks but I eventually got over it, it took about a year before I was really completely over it, now I realize it was the best thing I have ever done. Smoke free now for about 15 years. QUIT JUST DO IT. Oh and as a side note I went to a sporting event recently with hundreds of people there and only saw one person smoking.
