I started smoking when I was 15 and was up to a pack-a-day when I was 24. I quit (cold turkey) when I was 25. I had previously tried to quit many times but only made it a few hours so I know how tough it is to quit. I was lucky to have a few days off and decided I would quit on my days off....

I threw away all smokes, ashtrays, matches, etc.. and then slept for 3 days. Back then, I knew I would not go to the store to buy smokes without blow drying my hair so I made sure I didn't take a shower and every time I started getting cravings I went back to bed. After 3 days I couldn't believe I had made it that far. On my way to work on day 4 I pulled into a 7-11 to buy a pack of emergency smokes but I left without smokes and I've been smoke free ever since (about 30 years!).

I'm totally opposed to the new vaping industry because they are going to suck the current generation in and we will eventually have a whole population that is hooked (and dying).

FYI, I have a friend that just quit using Chantex. He told me that this drug really worked and a few times we got to the store and forgot why he was there. He eventually just forgot to smoke.
