Hello I'm quitting smoking cigarettes because they are old school for me now. I started smoking heavy about 6 years ago and I'm at a point in life where I'm tired of them like I'm a mother now and I want to be healthy. I used to complain back in the day of my dads cigarette use (he died in 2015 of lung cancer) and I don't want to put my kids through the pain I feel every day of petty ass cigs when im aggy. I'm better then that I know it.

Welcome to the Ex.  This a great place to get support to begin your journey to becoming an ex-smoker.  Have you picked a quit date?  It's a great time to read everything you can on the site about nicotine addiction and how to create a quit plan.  We're here for you, so just reach out if you need encouragement or would like to share your journey.

Wanting to quit is a great start. Here at Ex you can learn all about the addiction and learn ways to make this a life long commitment--but, quitting and pre quit are handled one day at a time. Welcome to Ex!
