Update. It's been around two years since I've had a cigarette. I think in this time I've had three or four cigars but I didn't inhale. ;)

I quit smoking 40 years ago. Sometimes, rarely but sometimes, I still will smell a cigarette and will really want one. Fortunately my long car trips with Randy keep me loaded up with second hand smoke!
I started smoking as a teenager and continued for around 25 years.
If I recall correctly, I gave up on Old Years Eve 2004, which would now make it 11 years that I haven't smoked.
Don't miss it at all, although looking at those pipes in the "Pipe of the Day thread", I'm sometimes tempted to buy myself a pipe.
I quit back in 1992. I had to temporarily give up triggers like coffee and beer for a few months. I found that taking a short walk helped when I had an urge to have a cigarette. It took about five years for the urge to smoke disappeared.
I quit cigarette smoking about 5 years ago with the help of e-cigs for nicotine cravings i have to say I feel much better but I also smoke one or two bowls of pipe tobacco in the evening so maybe I don't exactly qualify as a quitter of the evil weed. For me pipe smoking isn't something I crave like I did a cigarette i just like it to relax wind down and enjoy good tobacco and just like Bill Clinton "I didn't inhale".
Hehe not to be an enabler, feel free to join the conversations in the pipe thread. We like company:angel:Quote:

If anyone is considering quitting feel free to use this thread to ask for advice. Happy Thanksgiving, gents!
I started as a teen and smoked for about 10 years. I quit the day my son was born 34 years ago, as I wanted to be around for him.
