Do-It-Yourself – I want to quit for my health. I have no pulse in my legs and my doctor says I'm going to need surgery. But he won't even consider operating until I quit smoking. Besides this, I have had throat polyps removed and all of my doctors say I have to stop smoking.
I started smoking at 14. I'm 31 and have stopped smoking for 6 weeks now. I still think about it every day, but every day it becomes a little easier. Quiting has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
I'm a few days away from week 4 myself! Go Rich. I have not been smoking for as long as you, but have been smoking a pack per day for about a year now. I hate it. I used to be really really physically active and now I don't have the energy.
Like digidave's quote says "Best thing in the world". I think cutting back on pop is helping as well. Word.
I had a kidney transplant at the age of 42. I had smoked a lot since I was 14. The doctors told me I should stop smoking when I had the transplant. So I did. No problem. What might have helped was that I couldn't get out of bed for about 5 days after the surgery. By then the urge to smoke was gone. Still reached for the imaginary pack in my shirt pocket for a few months, but never felt the physical need to smoke and still don't. Hey, folks. It only takes 72 hours to clear your body of the physical need. The rest is mind power. You can do it.

It truly is hard to smoke, even when your health is at risk, I've been diabetic for 3 years now and I still smoke. I shouldn't, but I can't stop myself.
