I used to smoke 20 a day (Marlboro). When I quit, once I was over the ever present craving, the first thing I noticed was inlaling - I could. Taking deep breathes was glorious.
Then the weight went on & tht was unaviodable, as far as I CAN tell. As time passed, the stain left my fingers. I started to realsie my medical risk was declining.
Next year, I'll be 44yo & it'll be 20 years since I quit and I will FINALLY be at no more risk of smoking-related illness, than someone who never smoked :-)

Quit three years ago after smoking for 15 years. I love being a non smoker and wish I had quit sooner.
Did I mention that my honey and I are EMT's and see the long term results of smoking 1st hand? No side effect of quitting could be worse than COPD and patients who drag their oxygen around while lighting up with the other hand. Stay Safe!

In the short run, quitting is such a pain in the ***. I get so frustrated about stupid petty things. I flip out on everyone and I am constantly pissed off. so yes in the short run it never seems worth it. But I have quit before and after awhile all the moodiness goes away. Eventually you can breathe again and you don't stink all the time (and non-smokers quit harping on you).
Of course I picked smoking back up and yet again I need to try to quit. To me almost not worth it to quit because I am more miserable when I can't have a cigarette.

No, I don't feel like it made my life worse. Actually it saved my life had I not quit, I would probably be on a oxygen. See I developed Asthma and that's why I quit, because I wanted to live and to live I had to be able to breath. I quit it will 4 yrs ago on October 25th and I tried to smoke again in April due to stress. Well I ended up going to the emergency room for my asthma and I had only been smoking again for 2 weeks. So, do yourself a favor and try to quit it's not good for you or your kids. It took 3 trys for me but I did it along with the Nicorette gum (it works). :-)

I agree with you on all counts. I was up to 3 packs a day and a close friend went through agony dying from cancer and had been a heavy smoker for years, I saw the pain she went through, then she died, and I quit then and that was 1996. I miss it terribly sometimes, but never took it up again. And I certainly would not donate a day's pay to someone who knew exactly what she was doing and assumed the risk. That is absurd.

When I quit smoking I was depressed and slept all the time. I started up again and my head was much clearer. I only smoke about 5 -7 cigarettes at night by the way.
Time is coming up soon to do it again and,while I know it'll be an emotional roller coaster, depression is better than cancer emphysema and heart disease.

I quit. No, it does not make your life worse off. If you think that way, know that it is part of the addiction "tricks." Sometimes, I felt that it would help me relax. Sometimes, I felt that it would give me energy. All a trick to make me pick up a cigarette, that's their addictive power. It's been months now, the cravings gradually diminished. Use your cognitive power. Your life cannot be better because you smoke, C'mon...

i have been stopped smokeing for 2 months now, and there are days when i feel like the stress is too much for me to handle and i want to pick one back up but i don't. the truth is i feel healthier without smoking. i smoked for almost 20 years and it has been hard but it is never better to smoke and i can not see where it could make things worse. think of all the cash that you save. i have saved close to 200.00 not smokeing. so go for it

School assisnment? LOL
Worse--no way. Can't imagine how it could make my life worse? I have more money for other things, I can breathe, I don't have to worry about having enough smokes for the rest of the night, I can breathe, Don't have to get "the look" from strangers when I light up outside and I don't stink anymore!
Did I mention I can BREATHE??
