I'M QUITTING SMOKING!

[bertybotts]

Well, that deserves less fanfare than you think. I used to smoke around 15-35 cigs a day about 3 years ago. I've smoked for 4.5 years. These days, I have 1 cigarette a day, or maybe 2. Sometimes 3, but this is ssssssssuuuuuuuper rare if I have 3 cigs a day.

Meh. I decided that HA cannot exist peacefully with cigarette smoking.
Haven't smoked since NYE where I threw away half the cigarette anyways, I just hate to smoke them.

Screw it! :D I am sure I am gonna do it.

I wonder if 1-2 cigs a day was bad for my lungs?
Well I am young and got lots of time to heal.

I quit smoking completely about 3 months ago.. and I feel great!!!! best thing you can do... very ironic that us HA sufferers smoke knowing the damage it does to our bodies... good for you!

Thanks, all!!

I never felt too bad about the smoking, since I barely smoked at all. I mean, I used to smoke a lot and I recall the effects that had on my body! OH BOY! That was some rough stuff, but my lungs feel better already and it's been 4 days :D

Congrats!!  It such a good thing.  I quit 8 years ago when I found out I was pregnant and I never looked back.  My fiance is/was a heavy smoker, about a pack and a half a day and he is on day 7 cig free today.  He is really struggling, but I show him things like your post as well as other success stories and it really does help get him through!!!
