Lot of good advice has been posted.
My story = 6 friends each smoking about 5-10 years quit on news year day this year. The bet is, the 1st to smoke even 1 cigarette pays $300 to be split among the non-smokers, 2nd pays $250 and so on, last one to remain a non-smoker gets the pot. No one has caved yet. It was tough not smoking at first but now I hardly think about it during the day. I have a mild urge maybe two or three times a week but nothing I can't handle.
I read somewhere that nicotine cravings only last 2 or 3 minutes then fade. If you can resist those 2 or 3 minutes for a few weeks then a couple months you'll have much healthier lungs i.e. no more breathing heavy after walking up 12 steps etc. etc. :rolleyes:
Best of luck.
