>>its brutally tough to quit<<

I quit when I was pregnant the first time. I remember thinking that if kicking heroin was harder, I should never even try heroin, because kicking tobacco was really, really hard.

Now, however, I can bum a cigarette off a client or a friend, smoke it, and that's it. In fact, they make me feel really weird, and it's not something I feel like repeating. Every few months, that's it. No craving.

I think it took about five years to get over the craving.

I didn't have a hard time quitting. And I was a pack and half a day smoker. Other times I tried to quit were excruciatingly hard, but the time that counts wasn't. I think you just really have to want to quit, and it's at least a lot easier then. Or maybe I just have good self discipline, I dunno.

I think the hardest part is staying quit. I get an itch to bum a cig every couple weeks. I know if I smoked one, I'd probably start smoking again.
