I quit my pack-a-day routine some time in may 1992 (or was it 91...) It was actually quite funny: my oldest kid started to smoke (he still smokes, although he successfully quite four times since sg) and I felt I could not ask him to give up if I did not do it myself. It was an over-the-night, cold-turkey affair... btw that's not the end of it: last autumn I happened to light a cigar. I must admit it was not love at first sight, but on the second puff... The result was eventually half a foot of cigars per day. And it was not the Indian-tipee, peace-pipe kind of smoking. It was "deep-down","do-you-feel-the-rush" inhaling. So I quit again, some time in January, and man was it tough. And God help me avoid another fall. It is a drug, and once your system has been sensitized to it, you're a lifer.
