I’m not positive of the actual date but I think November 9th was the first day without a smoke. My Dr. told me to give it a year then go treat myself with the savings. I hope the Mrs. will agree. Either way, I’m glad to have that monkey off my back.
I haven’t had a Camel since I walked down the gangplank of the USS Truxton coming home from the Gulf on December 24, 1973. It was a great early Christmas present.
Keep up the good work.

Congratulations. Stay with it. I had my last cigarette April 2001 and never looked back. Treat yourself to something nice.

Good for you. I quit April 2 of 71. I have saved many thousands of dollars. I told my wife I was going to buy a Corvette and she told me I pissed it away.

Awesome work bro. Congrats. I am currently 310 days without and damn proud.
I’m proud if you fit making it a year. Many more smoke free years to come brother!

Good work, just never cave in and have " just one smoke". Quiiting tobacco is very hard to do, but I am glad you have made it this far .
You don't need cigaretes.
I smoked from age 16 till age 52. Heavy smoker the last couple of years. In 2003' when I was first diagnosed with cancer, the doctor told me I had to quit smoking. I did, never to smoke again.
Imagine, finding out you had cancer, qutting smoking, starting chemo treatments in the same week.
Bad, bad, bad.
I have never wanted another cigarette, and regret the years I was addicted to them, and exposed other people to my second hand smoke.
Someone should have taken a aseball bat to me for that.. :-)

Here's to your health! So what gun(s) are you going to buy after the year is up?

It’ll be two years in March since I’ve been off Copenhagen. I chewed a can a day for 15+ years. Hardest thing I’ve ever done was quitting that crap. A month of absolute inner-hell and misery.

Well done, sir. One year after quitting smoking, a person's risk for coronary heart disease decreases by half. This risk will continue to drop past the 1-year mark
