I never say "QUIT", all I ever say is I've stopped for a while. As with most addictions, all it would take is one cigar, and I'd be back to over a pack a day. Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs known to man, and why we allow it is beyond me. I'm 3 1/2 years off them this time, but have gone over a year several times, and up to 10 years once. But the last time I fell off the wagon, was as a result of "no-see'ums" on the golf course, so after 9 I went into the pro shop and bought a pack of cigarilos's, that led to another 6 year habit.
As time passes, you recall the few nice things about smoking, yet forget all the bad things, like the morning cough, the constant bad taste in your mouth, the shortness of breath, and all the other bad things.
Do what you need to for support, don't give in, but remember, once you're past the nicotine withdrawal, it takes 3 months to get over the habit of smoking, and all it takes is one hit of nicotine for most people to fall back. So, GOOD LUCK, don't give in.
