1. I quit them 37 years ago and glad I did. Luckily, I don't miss them and can't stand the smell of them. Good luck!

[Permanut]

2. Nicely done, a kennedy..

My last one was July 18, 2006, so not far behind you.

I think we've saved a boatload of money.

Congratulations!

3. It'll drain your bank account

I quit about 30 years ago and thankfully have not missed it. Don't know how anyone affords it now - hope you can get past the temporary temptation

4. I quit in June/July 2008. So 17 years. Best thing ever.

Go Kennedy - keep that great quit!

5. 5/05/05.

That was the day I had my rotator cuff surgery.

[El Supremo]

7. My last cig was three years ago and I want another one too.

I smoked for 53 years. Notice that I didn't say "I quit smoking". I could start again any time. I just know that this mental desire (not physical anymore) always passes quickly.

8. It won't be the same

it will taste like crap and give you a head rush. probably make you sick to stomach too

[chouchou]

9. I quit Foty years ago and every now and then, I'd like to light up.

Usually after thinking of the Tramp, his team, the GOP and Fox news. .
BUT, the bastards are not going to get me. They can be the big FU.

10. It actually could kill you

After 20 years, especially at 75, that jolt of nicotine could be too much for your heart. Kinda like putting a supercharger on a stock engine with 100,000 miles on it without making the necessary modifications.

It's pretty rare, but it's been known to happen.

[Luciferous]

11. I quit almost 20 years ago, and every

once in a while I still get a craving for one.

[Skittles]

12. I'll have 15 years in December

i follow NOPE - NOT ONE PUFF EVER

[womanofthehills]

13. Get some nicotine patches

People reporting they make them happy. Many long covid sufferers saying they help.

14. Spearmint gum works for me.

I stopped smoking years ago by using skoal. After a few years of chewing I switched to spearmint gum and stopped chewing tobacco. It worked for me.

15. I quit during the Carter Administration...nt

16. It will cause you to starve to death

I take it you haven’t priced cigs recently.

[Iggo]

17. Yep. Every now and then.
