My boy, 1.5 years old, stopped hugging me after I smoked, he hated the smell. So, one day (1 year ago), I quit cold turkey.

my kids...my son was getting asthma from my smoking, the doctor asked if we smoked and when I told him yes, but outside the house he told us that it didn't matter because it was still on our clothes and bodies and it was making my son sick. I bought the nicotine patch and quit that day, 5 years ago...he hasn't had asthma since

I quit over 5 years ago during a bad case of bronchitis. I had set a quit date for about 6 months after that, but a friend asked, "Why not stop now?"
I was tired of smoking even when I was too sick to do anything else. I threw away all my cigarettes and haven't smoked since.
My quit date is March 9, 2001.

My father quit while he was in the hospital after an appendectomy. But I don't think you want that. Some people keep a jar that they put all the money into that they would have spent on cigarettes. As expensive as they are, that will add up quickly. That is money you can save and spend on something you really want. Another thing you can do is keep chewing gum- and I don't mean Nicorette either. Just something you can stick in your mouth instead of a cigarette. Or you can decide on something else to do whenever you get the urge to light up. I don't smoke and never did, but my 'nervous energy thing' is clean.

The most easy and effective one is:
I dont HAVE to smoke.
Like you almost everybody smoking knows that cigs smell bad. Also you realize that you are hooked - you always "need" to have a pack and a lighter with you. And you always come accross people that mind smoking.
Simply become aware that -though smoking is somewhat comforting- you do not HAVE to smoke but can do it later and that life is easier if you dont have to smoke.
Avoid thinking along terms such as: "I may never smoke again- I will miss smoking" or "I have to stop".
All these thoughts make smoking look like a reward thats being denied and it makes quitting worse.
Positive thinking makes everything easier, even quitting to smoke.

My younger brother asked me to. And I hated trying to hide from my nieces and nephews, whom I refeused to see me smoking. I didn't want to be a bad influence for them, they tend to do a lot of what Tia Ely does. So I quit. 3 years and running!
