I have to quit smoking now my chest is sometimes raspy, it costs way too much money $28 per pack the cheapest I found in CT.
Now the hard part DON'T BUY CIGARETTES!!
If you don't have them you can't smoke them. Just think of smoking that's what I generally do in moments of quiet. It's only been two days since I stopped.
Lets see how long this episode lasts.
So this is just the beginning, I hope!
If you quit how did you do it, I'm going cold turkey,
I done this before went six months without smoking tobacco.

Cigarettes are 28 dollars a pack now? Holy smokes! I quit when they went up to 25 bucks a carton. I smoked for probably 30 or so years and quit 20 some years ago. I used nicorette chewing gum to help me quit then after I got iff cigarettes i was addicted to chewing gum for a couple of years. It's a tough thing to do but I can be pretty stubborn.
Hang in there man, I guarentee you will feel a lot better in a few months.

I quit when a carton was about $8 and 75 cents a pack and you could get them out of a machine almost anywhere. I quit drinking at the same time. Was easy for me just stopped and never started again. That was 38 years ago. Edit after thinking about it they were more like a dollar a pack I think, it was a long time ago!

Sorry, that's for two packs $28

Damn! That's a lot of money for a pack a day. That in itself would be my incentive.

They say "One day at a time" but at the beginning, it can come down to one trigger at a time.

Best of luck to you. We did it. You can.

Thats still 14 bucks a pack... I dont see how people afford it. I was smoking two packs of Marlboro a day when I quit, no telling what that costs now.

Wow they sure tax them in your state it helps to pay for the health care costs of smokers. I assume you are talking about a 20 pack (25 packs are more common for us) even here in Ontario they average $12.50 that is $9.16 USD. Like others I gave them up years ago but still enjoy the occasional cigar. Use Nicoret or other gum/patch and start doing more exercise so your lungs wont want anything to do with the smoke. Good luck!

I quit about 26 years ago, couple heart attacks and surgeries later, wish I'd never started. A good buddy of 50 years is dying of COPD - rolled his own for years.

You don't want this... Just quit.

Smoking never affected my health. Well, except for the heart attack 18 years ago. 36 years of smoking 18 years quit, happy to be free of them. I was a serious nicotine addict. A pack of Marlboro every single day.
