Stopped smoking thanks for little help from MyLot ex-smoker

I don't remember the name of the user now, but everytime I saw a discussion on how to stop smoking, I would jump to it. They always said stop one day, that's it. They were very right in one point. Now how a very long time smoker like me, that would inhalate all my mom smoked when I was 8 (loved smoke since then but only begin smoking later) could stop? I just learned animals get tested for all cigarettes brands, they inhalate, forced, the smoke until 50% die. Can you see how selfish that was of me to smoke? And I bothered human beings around, but there's nothing like putting it 24/7 until dogs, monkeys, all cute animals to die, they never take the mask off, the laboratory testing is a terrible thing. So I knew I had to stop. I gave my self just the end of that last pack with 13 or more cigarettes, after that I couldn't continue, that was the deal between ME and...well, me! Only the person can stop for real. So there are people that count cigarettes: "For now on I'll smoke 5 a day." No dear smokers, don't do that. Count how many times you'll inhalate the d*mn drug. I'll inhalate just 7 times per day this week, and sometimes you'll do it 10 times but it's okay, at least you tried. Know that the first days are the hardest. But in one week, you count not cigarettes but how many times you put in your mouth, and turns out you smoke waaay less cigarettes. Next week, think about one day at a time, you narrow down...and down... My single last pack lasted three weeks...I was offered to have one more pack and I remind the picture of those Beagles with their eyes frowned, suffering, in disgusting and pain...And I said no, forever. You CAN DO IT dears. For the Animals, for your self, for your family, they just suffer to see you killing your self, I always felt so bad to leaving my family have that feeling...I would get near them stinking of smoke, near my pets...That ain't right. Narrow down, begin from there :D I feel so much lighter, happier, I breath better, I do more stuff in just one month since I stopped, I have more apettite but that I'll change in a while, after this little will to smoke goes away I'll deal with that, right now I'm not even worried... One day at a time... They say smoke is even worse than cocaine...don't be harsh on your self, but make the commitment to stop smoking...for the green too, the smoke goes up there, to the sky and all, it's polution too. But specially, for our family, and these animals that are suffocating because of our habits. About animal tested products, there are TONS of products that are not tested, please choose these, the quality is the same and even better, but they are not diabolical enterprises, so you $upport non killers and non torturers, as the animal lab testing is just like nazism, no anesthesics, very sad!
