I used to smoke many years ago..
I'm glad I quit!
I worry about my friends and my family
that still smoke and hope they will quit
not for me but so they will be healthier.
I know this is a hot issue with some..
That's not what this discussion is about..
It's just to give info to those that want to quit
please do not post to this discussion if you want to
slam smokers for smoking or non-smokers for not..
I bring this as a gift
not as a put down!

I used to smoke too, I quit a year ago on Mother's Day. I made a Mother's Day promise to my mom, to be a non smoker. I did it too, when you make a promise to your momma, you have to keep it. I made a certificate with our pictures on it, printed it, rolled it up, tied a ribbon around it and gave that to her for Mother's Day. She loved it. Its been a year and I still would sometimes like to have a smoke, but I don't, I am sticking to it. The feeling of wanting to smoke goes away quickly.

I believe u are a brave and kind woman. I think your encouragement is very importment for your friends and family members to help them quit smoking. Believe yourself and believe them!

My husband and I both smoke. It is hard for me to quit when he continues to smoke around me and vice versa. I know we will both decide to quit one day because it is bad for us and it is very expensive too. I think it is great that you have cared enough to provide this information though.

I quit many years ago through hypnosis. I too worry about my family and their smoking. I try to encourage them to try to quit as much as I can. I stopped in 1992.
