You can do it, Andy!
One of my favorite things about quitting cigs (aside from the obvious health benefits) is how much more flavorful my cigars are, now that my taste buds aren't fried. Even the milder stuff is pretty tasty now, where before I was mainly smoking the full-strength sticks as those were the only ones that had good flavors to me. 5 Vegas Gold still tastes like sucking on a straw though.

It's not as tough as you may think to quit. Just concentrate on how much better you can breathe, how much better food tastes, etc. I know; I used to be a 2 to 3 pack a day smoker in the 1990's.

It has been one year and two days since my last cigarette.
and although in the beginning it was hard it has gotten easier and easier.
I'm pretty happy about this.
Now to drop the extra pounds that i have put on.

I meant to put this out there on the 18th but I missed

I quit cold turkey just fine... it's all mental. If you realize that you want one because of your addiction, you can easily overpower it. I don't have any issue with quitting smoking... Video games on the other hand, my girlfriend seems to think I have a problem lol.

Conquering an addiction is easily overcome? You've got to be joking. Either that or you have very little understanding of addiction.

It's not quitting that is hard, it's never coming back to it. You can put them down for a good bit and say you quit. But how long is it going to last? A few months, year...maybe a few years.
