I was a 40 a day for years. Until (with some help) I quit, cold turkey. I miss it everyday, the cravings are sometimes difficult to push past, but I am much better off for not doing it. I never understood just how brainwashed I was about smoking and a slave to nicotine addiction.

The help was just reading a book. Alan Carrs easy way to quit smoking. It really opens your eyes and then you just quit of your own volition. I never thought reading a book would do anything. Yet here I am, smoke free and no longer a slave to a substance. I'd recommend it if you ever thought you wanted to give up.
