I quit smoking @ 4 yrs ago, a year after watching my father die of lung cancer. 2 packs a day for 25 years certainly hasnt improoved my chances for living to a ripe old age but one of my main reasons for quitting was that I dont want to put my kids through the pain of watching their father die an early death. But besides reducing my risk of dying of cancer by 50%, Ive saved enough money in 4 yrs to more than pay for my America. Pick a reason that matters to you, and pick a goal that you will attain with the money you save. YOU CAN DO IT. You just need to wake up one day, any day, and say "I will never smoke another cigarette..." Good Luck, and DO IT!!!
