Go for it, V4L!!! Besides, I'm sure that the one and only SMT#1 can find other things to do with his hands! :lol:

Good luck man.. I am 28, and have never smoked a cigarette in my life.. I am in much better shape then a friend of mine who is 6 years younger then me, and he smokes..

I have smoked longer than alot of folks on here have been alive. It is my greatest regret. My lung capacity has decreased by at least half and what was once a pretty healthy set of lungs probably look like one of those tar boxes that roofers use to melt their hot tar.

That is an awesome thing to do. I am in high school right now and I'm always gettin peer pressured to smoking, chewing, or drinking. I prously say that I have never smoked or chewed.

I hope your quitting goes successful

I guess that makes two of us. I quit once, but stress from a rough time in the family got me started again. I have asthma and shouldn't smoke at all.

The patch does help singer, that's how I stopped the first time. But you need to get past the 'hand to mouth' urge during cravings. That was the hardest for me, and I'm dreading going through it again! :lol: Someday...
