In this case, i love a quitter!  I quit in January last year and still feel like a champ every day for it.  The best thing that helped me was deep inhaling, as if I was taking in a puff.  I still do it from time to time.  
You stike me as a kick ass kind of lady.  Kick it's ass!

Cool!
Hope no one else in your immediate family smokes. If they do - kill them.

Well, there are many good ways to quit smoking, can share my winning combination:
pregnancy + cold turkey (no, I didn't eat either of them).

wanna try?

Just kidding,
GOOD LUCK!
Nata, a very happy DSer!

You can do this!!

While I had quit a number if times before, it has seemed to stick for the last 7 1/2 years. Never again. Not even one. I know that I would fall right back into it if I dared a single puff. But dammit when I've had a few drinks I do love the smell of it. Never any other time though.

You go girl, you can so do this.
For me, I woke up one morning, had a full carton with the first pack opened, but I decided I was done.  Wrapped the whole thing and sent it to my friend by mail and told her she can smoke it, I'm done and never looked back, and oddly enough, didn't have one craving or missed and people smoked around me all the time and didn't even bothered me.  Smoke free over 7 yrs.
Still don't understand how I did it.....lol...but sooo glad I did

Break a leg!!

Congrats Karen! You can do it! Woo Hoo!

If you need to steel your resolve for any reason, read this book: "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" By Alan Carr... the book changed my life. It's only 165 pages and $14 at Chapters, and worth every nickel...

 You can do it....you seem to have the strength and determination to do it....i quit cold turkey 19 yrs ago and it was the hardest thing because i worked in a tobacco shop...but it was the best thing i have ever done....

Hi Karen,

just wanted to give you my moral support...I quit cold turkey will be 11 years in December.  It was very difficult for me however I did it!  Haven't smoke since even those I've had times where I'm tempted...but I tell myself I am better than that...just like this food thing...I tell myself I can beet this and am feeling great!

If you need anything...a shoulder! Just let us know!
