After 14 years of 1+ pack a day, I gave it up 4 weeks ago. Kind of helped that I started my cycle a week later to give me something else to focus on.
Am I still tempted? rarely, but I dreamed about it one night
Do I feel better? No, but I dont cough anymore
Did my strength go up? I am on a heavy cycle...what do you expect
Why did I quit? Not for some ideal like good health or being politically correct...I gave my word..and well, that means everything.
To all those out there who still light up, if I can do it...You can too!
You may not live longer, but you will certainly smell better.
