Congrats to all who have quit, and best of luck to those about to try. I know it's a tired line, but if I did it anyone can. Oh, and congrats To those who never started. you're smarter than the rest of us.

That's fantastic!
I quit in the mid 80's. Was damn hard... I'd quit for two years, started again for almost a year, then quit for good.
Gained about 50 lbs, and had yo-yo weight problems for a number of years. Still do if I don't watch it.
Quitting the soft drink habit was hard too... Dr. Pepper is addictive, especially with a cigarette.![]()

Be happy you only gained ten pounds, Geo. Hope it holds at that. Still in all, mo'bettah than smoking.
i have gained about twelve pounds since i quit. not sure why but i have. i read a book to quit and yes it worked. good thing too as i went to the doctor for a physical 3 weeks after stopping and upon learning i was a recently stopped smoker he had a chest x-ray done. i was showing some pre cursors to emphysema. had i not stopped when i did i would have ended up with emphysema by the time i hit 50. i have learned that it has killed quite a few of my ancestors over the years.

Hello.
Just to piss some people off I "light up" an electronic "cigarette" every once in a while.
But I do not smoke in the normal sense.
I will do the hooka (water pipe) and the e-cig thing about 3 times a year.
I might get drunk once every 10 years.
And people wonder why we started. Hell, it was GOOD for you.
