How about all those damn cold days in the winters you have to stand outside???
How about the inconvenience ANYWHERE YOU GO?????

Hi there, Metalichick: Hang in there! If you're having a brutal day, be proud of yourself for getting through without that old nicotine crutch. Now -- cast your mind back. Don't think about the cigarettes, but think about the way your mouth used to taste. Remember how ugly that was? Do you really want that back?
I'll bet you don't. And I'll bet your hair smells better, your clothing smells better -- and your car doesn't reek when you open the door.
Be proud of yourself for the past 15 months. That's wonderful. And reward yourself with a special treat to get through a brutal day. How about a jelly bean? or a fresh kiwi fruit, or a luscious mango -- go ahead, splurge on something out of season. You've earned it.
Today will end -- and you'll still have those 15 smoke free months behind you, and you'll still be proud of yourself!
I'm proud of you (and I know what you're going through. I'm an ex-smoker too.)

I quit and its harder than hell. Its been almost a year for me and all that hard work will be shot and your wallet will be less full if you light it up. Stick your head in the freezer and take a big breath. I know it sounds stupid but I live in Texas and its hooter than hell out here. Its a quick fix that makes you feel so much better. If you can go workout for about 30 minutes and drink a big glass of water. As hard as it to ignore the craving now remember how hard it was to quit and how good it felt when you finally did.

Go out and reward yourself! Buy something! You deserve it!!! Then promise yourself to continue the good work! Calculate what you saved over those 15 months and put it in your savings account for the nx lousy day!

I quit a three pack a day habit and one year after I quit i wanted one so bad I would have killed for one. I resisted and later I did not want one. It has now been 20 years since I quit and I am sooo glad I did not give in to those urges. a friend of my quit for 7 years and at a party thought he could smoke just one. He is now back to 2 packs a day after having been quit for 7 years.

B/c smoking is bad for your health. It gives ya bad breath, and it stains your teeth. Keep going for yourself!
