I competed with my sister. Each day she would call to see if had smoked that day. I wasn't about to let her beat me at it, so within a month or so, the cravings were gone. During the interim, however, I ate hard candy mints. That helped.

After stopping, I never went back to it again, nor did I have any desire to.

If you want encouragement, read the 1963 Attorney General's Report on the hazards of smoking. If that doesn't jar you strongly, nothing will, IMHO.

Hope you're successful. Start and let us know each day for encouragement. We'll give it.

Good luck.
