I like it here. After being quit for 2 years +, I like it here, and I will NEVER go back to smoking. After you quit for a significant period of time you realize that what you were doing (when you smoked) was just silly. Why did I do that? That is the question I often ponder these days. Why did I suck on a stick and poison myself for 25 years? I can't come up with a good answer. Why did I waste all that time, money, and lung tissue for something so silly? Maybe because that is who I was, that is what I knew, and that is where I was comfortable, at least for a while. It took a major health problem to change my way of thinking. Don't wait until AFTER you've had a stroke, or a heart attack, or some other serious health issue. Quit now. I can tell you from experience, the freedom you feel from breaking the chains of addiction is priceless! It is well worth the struggle in the beginning to achieve the freedom at the end!

I quit smoking on March 26th, 2009. I smoked a pack a day for 25 years. I quit because I began having health issues in my early 40's. I had a TIA and a stroke a few years ago. I work as a home delivery salesperson.
