Spawned by Lilith's thread about smoking in your car, I'm curious to know - how many of you are smokers, or former smokers? what did you do ti kick the habit?

Me, it was easy. I started smoking when i was fourteen. When I hooked with my boyfriend (who later became Mr. LAW) he said he didn't like smokers, so I put them down. I'm glad I did. he was worth it!

I was a smoker....

Kicking the habit ~ I woke up one morning and said to myself i aint paying that damn much for something that'll kill me *L*....just went cold turkey from then on

I swear I just had this conversation.

I gave up serious smoking when the price skyrocketed to 85 cents a pack. It was taking too much of a bite out of my allowance. ha ha

I've had a smoke now and again, but usually only at a stag or when out drinking with the guys. And even then, I pay the price voice-wise. Blech!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Never did. Don't know why I never did, but I never did. Not one. Not even when I was a deeply stupid teenager.

Right now, I just mark it up as more evidence that I'm a lucky girl...seen friends and family quit (and fail to), looks like hell. I've got nothing but respect for those who manage it.

Yup, I have had the nasty habit for 23 years. But I am for sure stopping by next year. I have great incentive too.

lonelyarmywife,

I smoked for many years, many years ago. I quit when my fiancé said that she sometimes didn’t like how my kisses tasted. Quitting was quite difficult, but well worth it.

I've smoked for about 40 years now..It's a bad habit,but hey,it's mine.Seems like every time I think about quitting,someone will tell me I can't smoke.I dislike the better than thou's of the world,which usually turn out to be people that used to smoke themselves,so my "Left Wing" comes out,and I keep on smokin'.At my age,it matters little,anyways.I can still get my smokes on Indian Reservations for under 10 bucks a carton,so I'm still gonna puff,lol..

I am 31. I have smoked since I was 13. I haven't got into too much on the board but I've recently kicked more serious shit this year so the tar is the least of my worries.

Yep, yep. still smokin' here too. Promised my son I'd quit but so far I haven't been able to.

I guess you could call me a "social smoker". It's something I can do, or not do, depending on my mood. A pack of cigarettes can last me a month......or more. I can have one today and not have another for years.........doesn't phase me one way or the other. I enjoy it when I do it, but I can certainly live without it.

I smoked in high school - socially. I haven't done it in years....except for the occasional cigar on the golf course.

Nope

I quit several years ago. Hugs are much more fun. :hug:

I still smoke and never really considered quiting. Do you ladies realize just how sexy you look when you light up the occasional cigar? WOW! It could become a serious fetish of mine.
