Congo rats to all of you that kicked the butt habit! My sister quit too, but only after she wound up with throat/lung cancer...thankfully she is in remission (so far!).

As someone else in this thread said, your lungs will thank you! :) I smoked for about 8 years and quit when I got pregnant...it's not easy but it's very possible!

Good for you Diane!!

Dec 1 I celebrate my one year anniversary. Today, I can't believe I smelled like an ashtray for so long! LOL

I wish you luck. Like Heather said, I feel better, my food tastes better and my behind is bigger.....(that's my next self-improvement project....getting fit) Not smoking is wonderful!

Hang in there!

I quit after watching my father die of lung cancer. We found out in March that he was terminal and in August he was gone. He never believed that it was the cigarettes that killed him but I know better. After that I quit my pack and a half day habit and have never started again. Sometimes when I am around smokers I get the urge still and it has been 12 years. My body is better off even though I have more weight to worry about. I sure don't get as sick in the winter as I use to. I am glad that I quit and congrats to all you other quiters:roll
