scratchyQuitting smoking question
Several times. Not sure I have enough fingers to count. What finally got my attention was a spot on my wife's Xray. Turned out to be emphysema, at a very early stage. She quit cold turkey, I used Chantix and gum. That started on my 49th birthday. Haven't smoked since, and was off both Chantix and gum by my 50th. I'm 16 years clean.

mcrimmI quit only once on Dec 24, 1973 as I walked off the ship coming back from WestPac. Never smoked again but started chewing about the time I bought a horse. Remember Walt Garrison? Quit about three years later. Waaaay harder than quitting cigarettes.
