Do you smoke, are you still smoking, how long, how many times have you quit, how did you quit? For years I tried to quit, every time I smoked or talked about smoking I told everyone I knew or talked to how much I hated to smoke. I really did hate it, when I got a bad flu, didn't smoke for a couple of weeks then poof just stopped. I have never looked back or even had the real urge to smoke again. I started smoking with my ex. She would smoke when we went out for a drink about once a month or six weeks. After the divorce I went out more often and smoked of course. After a few years I was hooked.
