For the former cigarette smokers only, how has life been since you quit?

Question

Is it really something I should do or is cutting back good enough?

Answer 1

I used to smoke 3 packs a day.

I feel ALOT better without smokes in my life. I also smell better. You really can not appreciate it until you have truly become a non smoker.

I;m told quitting has some health benefits but hey - anyone can be a quitter. STICK WITH IT !

Answer 2

I was a former, now I am back on them.. BAD choice! I was happier as a non-smoker. My clothes did not smell, my breath was fresher., .. and I did not have to spend time away from my kids just to light up..My spouse said he could tell I started again from the smell and the rattle in my lungs! If that alone is not depressing...with gas prices the way they are.... if I do not quit again soon, I will be commuting on a mo-ped!

For the first few weeks, I killed anyone that pissed me off. Do you think that was wrong? Seriously, other than the fact that I ate everything that couldn't fight back or run away, it's great to have the use of both hands again. The extra money is definitely OK & it's nice not to reek of tobacco. If you can, quit cold turkey. It's too easy to slip if you try to cut down. Go for it!!!

Answer 4

I quit 5 years ago. I started running. Feel much better. The thing that made me quit was when my dad got emphysema. Scared me silly

Answer 5

Definitely quit!!! I quit 8-1/2 years ago, and it's exceptionally liberating!!!
