Quit smoking November the 8th of last month. Wife says I smell a lot better. I would love to fire up a Pall Mall orange right now, but I ain't. I was spending between 150.00 and 200.00 bucks a month on cigs. That's money that I can spend on fishing stuff and ammo. Anyone got any ideas on how to get the tobacco smell out of the truck? I've vacuumed the heck out of it and changed the cabin air filter, and put dryer sheets under the seats. Hang in there, guys and gals. we can beat this.

I quit dipping 2 years ago this month after dipping snuff for about 15 years. Dentist visit is what finally made me decide once and for all. I had a white patch on my cheek where I always had the dip and it looked bad! I used the herbal snuff for a couple months to quit, I just liked to spit!

11/18/1990. I quit after smoking a pack a day for 12 or 13 years. Got tired of having bronchitis all the time, and I didn't want to be sick for Thanksgiving that year.
While at work, we had a designated smoking area. I avoided that at all costs. But, when I had the urge, the need, I would leave my workstation and walk down the hall to the water fountain. After a few drinks of water, I was ready to go back to work. There were many times I was tempted to start again (had previously quit 2 or 3 times, for a year each time and then started again), especially seeing someone in a movie light one up. The urge just came right back. But I'm coming up on the 30 year mark, and happy for that!

I quit 17 weeks ago tomorrow, I don't know if I feel any different yet or not. Just stopped cold turkey only a straw to chew on. Started when I was 18 I'm 60 now. I want a cigarette once a day at some point.

I quit dipping Sept 18th, 2018. I had been dipping for over 30 years. Started at about the age of 15. I quit cold turkey this time. After several attempts using various products, cold turkey was the only way that ever stuck. I still get cravings when I do things like fish or hunt, but I will not go back. Any time now that I see someone's spit bottle, or a dip thrown out in the parking lot, my stomach turns a little and wonder how I did it for so long.

Started when i was about 13 and quit when i had a minor heart attack in 04' . 16 yrs ago Jan 9th , 2004 i smoked my last cig . Used the patched for 6 weeks and alot of church prayers . Funny i never craved one when i started the patch , a yr later wanted one but got busy working and forgot it and never craved since then . I agree about it stinks now that i've quit . I can smell a smoker in the same room or when i pass them in a hallway . SO glad now and i think about all the money i have saved not buying any cigs .

Quit cold turkey in 2010...used to smoke a pack a day without blinking an eye, even more when I drank.
Gave it up when I woke up coughing up a lung, lit a smoke, and thought, this can't be my life. Put them down and never looked back.
My first few weeks I was an a$$hole, started chewing gum and mints to satisfy the "mouth feel." Then as I got farther along it subsided, about 2-3 months in. Every now and then, I do get cravings but I refocus that craving into moving around the house, taking a walk, or drinking water.
