    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.

    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.

    Not if you put the cigarette out in the Dr. Pepper.

    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.
