Jennifer,

Many yrs ago, after smoking a pack and a half per day for 15 yrs, I
quit with no aids and it was the smartest thing I ever did.
Replacing the habit with something healthy like jogging and
jazzercise worked for me.

I found that you have to change your state of mind, and not think of
it as denying yourself of a 'wonderful pleasure', take it for what it
really is, and think of it regaining respect for your internal body
and not subjecting it to any intense abuse anymore. You are in
control, your lungs are depending on you only.

Since I've quit, I don't preach to any co-workers or friends to stop,
but when I see people light up I feel sorry for them. Nothing sadder
to watch someone on a 15 minute break, go outside in the blowing
snow, lighting a second cigarette with their first, and sucking in
harder and longer, because that will have to last them till their
next break. I've 'been there and done that' and it's truly senseless.

Photo comparisons of healthy lungs next to smoker's lungs is probably
what pushed me over the edge to finally quit for good.
