I have been using this site for a long time and it has helped me to quit smoking for periods of time. I am smoking now unfortunately. I am starting with pulmonary rehab that is helping me to cut down by 1 cig/day. I am registered to go to a local cancer hospital that sponsers a quit smoking program, 3, 90 minute classes over 3 weeks. They are having good success. So my new quit date is May 5. I am a hard case. I am going to keep using this site and all the wonderful friends I have met for support. I am an addictive personality and have used cigs for my dopamine (along with alcohol and drugs) since I was 13. I am now 56. I am dieing of copd and have a nodule in my lung that has grown. I just had a pet scan to check for malignant activity. Not really wanting to die this young. This is my last effort.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
