Non-smoker as of 12 days ago. Why'd I stop? Cause I caught the flu bug and couldn't stop coughing up the green stuff. Now that I haven't smoked I wanna see how long it'll go.

Non-smoker. Never have even had one in my life. When I was young, used to be a long distance runner and figured the two don't go together so never tried. Parents both were however.

Got a lot of second hand smoke however through years of bowling leagues and tournaments as well as the casino life.


I was also a long distance runner, my knees are shot now, yours too?

Punter.. Did you quit Cold Turkey ?? or did you use a Patch or something else ??

Cold turkey. You just have to get mad enough at them to stop and then every time you crave one just tell yourself "if a cave in now I gotta do it all again".

Gets easier and easier after 90 days the cravings come very seldom and do not last long. I cant remember the last time I wanted one.

Ex Smoker here. Been quit cold turkey for six months. The American Cancer Society Web Page stated if an individual can quit for six months, he/she reduces their chance of heart attack by half. At forty years old, I will take those odds. Smoked in college and in service. Starting playing Tennis and needed to have my stamina back to be on my best game. Used Worthers Orgional Candies for the first few days. They really help and I would recommend them to anyone who is trying to give up the butts.

Not proud to say I have been smoking for 30 years. I thought about quitting but I have never tried. The cost will make me quit before any health reasons.

Cough Cough.

Cigars are the best !! One of the last survivors of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire has died, less than a month after celebrating his 106th birthday — and his retirement.

Herbert Hamrol was 3 years old when his mother carried him to safety from their crumbling apartment building at 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906.

"She carried me in her left arm and used her right hand to grab the stair rail," Hamrol told The Associated Press on the earthquake's 99th anniversary. "That's all I remember."

Last year he was the only survivor to attend the annual commemoration. In 2000, there were 16 known survivors, but it's not known how many, if any, are still living.

Last month, Hamrol, who died in a local hospital Wednesday of complications from pneumonia, finally called it quits as a grocery store stocker. He celebrated his 106th birthday with a steakhouse party.

What was his recipe for longevity? Well, it either was or was not "wild women and good liquor."

Here's what The Associated Press says in an article posted today on SFGate, the site for the San Francisco Chronicle:

The party was just Hamrol's style, said friends and co-workers. He smoked cigars into his 90s, and told whoever wanted to know that his secret to a long life was "wild women and good liquor," said Janine Barrett, a manager at Andronico's Market in San Francisco.

after 13 years smoking I quit July 4 and quit nicotine gum like 3-4 months ago. The gum is harder to quit. Now I chew trident gum non-stop all day and my jaws hurt all the time. I miss smoking when I'm bored at times, but usually don't even think about it anymore.
