Has anyone successfully quit smoking after 13 years or more?

Question

Any success stories?

How did you did you do it?

Answer 1

Smoked for 33 years without really thinking about quitting. Got the flu and I felt like I was going to die. I quit cold turkey, bothered me for about 4 or 5 months. That was 11 years ago (I'm 66 now). Not one thougth that I will ever start again and it does not bother me 1 bit.

You have to want to quit to do it.

Good luck

Answer 3

It's easy to quit smoking I've done it dozens of times.

Answer 4

I smoked for years...One day I finally quit. I had to change my habits and keep busy. On my way home from work I would get gas and go inside to pay. There they were, right by the cash register...so I would pick up a pack. I started going a different way home and paying at the pump instead. I also started chewing gum and sucking on lollipops.

I haven't had one for 5 years..the smell alone makes me sick.

Answer 5

Yes, loads of people!

Not me, I smoked for weeks. However, my Mum and Dad gave up after 35 years of it. That was ten years ago and they haven't smoked since. My Dad did spend a few years on Nicotine gum, but it is still better than smoking, and my Mum used gum for only a few months.

They don't regret it at all. They are much healthier.

Answer 6

Sure

I used the Commit nicotine lozenges, then used Chantix for six months to get off the lozenges
