I quit 25 years ago after smoking most of my youth. Thing is, I didn't think I'd ever be able to quit- I always had to have cigarettes around and would panic when I ran out. Tried to quit "cold turkey" several times and was only successful for about a day. I was pretty much resigned to smoking, and didn't really want to quit.

Then my wife enrolled me in "Smoke Enders" (or ? Smoke Stoppers). It is was a behavior modification course, not sure if they even still exist.

Anyway, that is how I quit. It is EXTREMELY well done. They get you over the physical addiction which only lasts about 3 days. The harder part is the "in your head" where you have to learn that cigarettes are not your friend.

I understand the success rate was pretty good. Anyway, worked for me.

Might give it a try if they are still around.


P.S. I still got bladder cancer ("smoker's cancer").
