Keep it up. Try not to think about smoking as much. The more I thought about smoking, the more I wanted a cig. I quit about 6-7 years ago. It seems so long ago, sometimes I can't remember even smoking!
I can't imagine paying $3-4.00 a pack today. In NY a couple weeks ago, I saw cigs for $5-6.00/pack! :eek:

Keep up the good work. I know it must be a hard thing to do after smoking for so long. :cheers:

Good luck on this. Never smoked but I've seen people try to quit. Just think of all the parts you can buy with that saved money

Here's to pink lungs. Im a non smoker. My father used to smoke and he quit in 1980 cold turkey and hasnt taken a puff since. My mother howerer is a moderate to heavy smoker but she is in good health...thank god. Glad you were able to kick the habit 5 days is a good step because from what I understand nicotine is very 'addictive'. :cheers: :cheers:

Good for you Signguy, that is a step you will never regret.
Remember these two things if you are ever about to lite one up:
As others have mentioned, YOU WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR to spend on other things.
Are you gonna let them little blasted things control your life?
You can do it, give us other vette owners one more example of a vette owner who doesn't smoke.

Here in Toronto, our hockey coach (Quinn) swore of the stogies and started a regimen that cut his weight from 315 to 250 this year. He looks great.
Also, one of the local sports guys, fit like hell former Maple Leaf, had a heart attack 2 weeks ago at age of 56 and almost didn't make. Swore off the stogies.
Sounds like with your decision, we have a trend here. Good luck! :cheers:

Good for you man! I'm on my last week of the Nicoderm regime... And so far I have saved enough $$ to get a digi-cam and start restoring the interior on the 'Vette! Remember the goal! Quit SMOKING, don't quit quitting!
I always wondered how eating those little Nicoderm squares are supposed to stop you from smoking??? :confused:
