Yes, I have an app that I look at daily to remind myself to never, ever, ever, “just have one” as that sounds the death knell.
And yet your avatar is of a child smoking?

It is a tough thing to go through. I thought my wife was going to have a hard time quitting but she did it cold turkey. I am very proud of her for doing so and congrats to those who also do it.

It was Spring of 1974 when I quit smoking cigarettes, a few days after a coworker (Heavy smoker) had a fatal heart attack.

Months before his death, he always had a dry cough. So did I and that did it.

I was a two pack a day smoker. Thirty cents a pack, back then.

Ten cents a pack in Seoul PX in 1958 when I smoked like a chimney.

In the 1950s a carton of cigarettes cost $1.83, less than a penny a cigarette. I know because my parents, both smokers, sent me as a teenager to the store to buy them for them (no age limits then). I obeyed but didn't like doing it--I hated that they smoked.
