[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3825335, member: 10690"] Good luck OP! Of the hundreds & maybe 1000’s of people I know that have smoked & tried to quit, the only ones I know that have stayed quit for good are the ones that decided “screw this, this is stupid and I’m done”. That’s no lie. All of ‘em just decided they didn’t wanna smoke anymore. I know people whose Dr’s said “you’re gonna die”. (One of those guys died on Saturday. He was 60) People that did hypnosis. Quit for their kids. Quit for their spouse. Chewed the gum. Wore the patch. Etc, etc, etc. none of them stayed quit. None of them. They either just said f*** it and started openly smoking again or snuck them. My brother was one of those. He quit for 15 years for his kids. I swung by the house one day and he was watching TV smoking. I said, “hey, WTF? When did you start smoking again?” “Last week” he said. “I was at my desk and thought screw this I’ve wanted a cigarette for 15 years, this is stupid. So I hopped on the express elevators and went downstairs and bought a pack.” Then he turned 50, had a massive heart attack and the Dr told him he didn’t give a **** if he smoked or not, but to enjoy every one, cause it might be his last. Dr let him decide, and he quit for good, but it was too damn late. The damage was done. He’s 70 now. Stays in a fib, and can’t walk to the mail box and back. Hasn’t wanted a cigarette since his heart attack. No desire. So, to you guys that smoke and think you should quit, you’re grown ass men, do what ever you want, but understand the consequences. It’s your decision, but you gotta decide to do it for you, not for anyone else. I’m a firm believer in that. [/QUOTE]
