Quitting Cigs.

[Kreth]

15 days here in a couple of hours. I've been smoking a Shortie in the morning with my coffee, and another after dinner (two of the times I *really* want a cig).

Ever since I started smoking cigars a year ago, I've found I don't enjoy a cigarette when I could be smoking something that actually tastes good. Plus, being 42 and having a 5 month old baby, I want to make sure I'll be around to see him graduate, and then some.
It's not freezing here today, so I may go fire up a good strong cigar in a bit.

I am almost at the five week mark. Gone a whole month without smoking. Glad to see I'm not the only one to maintain. If you've gone over three weeks, then there's no use in turning back. The urges never go away completely. Like I said earlier in this thread, I was clean for three years, yet the urge took hold of me still.
Best of luck to all!

I quit for 10+ years. Was out having some drinks with a friend, he lit a smoke and held the pack out to me. Next thing you know I'm back up to a pack a day.
This time around, I'm hoping to be more successful knowing I can smoke something I actually enjoy, rather than something I need. Even a Backwoods tastes better to me these days than a cigarette.
