But after many failures...i finally got to where a truely wanted to stop for me.....not because every other person was telling me i should....and when i was in the right frame of mind it, for me, was easy to stop (well fairly easy *LOL*) I just went cold turkey and made it
I havent smoked for 8-9yrs now....and it was the best damn thing i ever did!

You guys are terrific! TY for "getting it" and for passing the message along to silentsoul!
Sharni? I hear ya g/f! *hugs* for being able to stay quit! Here's to it happening for me someday soon! P.S. There are very few times in a calender year when I actually enjoy a cig! Blahhhhh!
It drives me wild to see a young person smoking now-a-days! The warnings are right in your face on the side of the packs. In my day (OMG...now I sound like my mother...arrrrgggg!) the side of a cig pack said, and I quote, "Caution, cigarette smoking may be hazardous to your health". Today it says stuff like, "Smoking can kill" and Cigarette smoking is addicitve". I've actually seen harsher warnings on packs of cigs from Germany. The U.S. could get a bit more specific, in my opinion. But the point is, the cigarette companies have been obliged (through law suits) to make the warnings more specific...and they have. To see someone so young, like you silentsoul, smoking a cig....well, my heart aches for you!
For once, especially in this instance, I wish the younger generation would take advice from us old folks and believe we are saying it for their own good instead of trying to control them.
I hope all of this soapbox action is helping you ss!
