Tsalagi:
The way I quit smoking cigarettes was, I had the flu real bad and felt awful. I was going to stop smoking until it went away. But I forced myself to smoke and it made me feel so much sicker on top of the flu that I associated the waves of nausea with smoking cigarettes ever since. Took one day.

I've never been a smoker and had good reason to never try. My grandfather died when I was 9 months old from lung cancer from smoking cigarettes. He was a dairy farmer on the eastern shore of MD, boat builder and master craftsman. I never really knew him but grew up seeing the things he had made and who he had been.
He was a self taught woodworker, making plenty of furniture and other small items I saw growing up. He was even commissioned to make a scale model of the HMS Brilliant tobacco trading ship to be displayed in the Museum of American History at the Smithsonian. He is the reason I got interested in woodworking and now it's one of the most enjoyable things I do.
At times I truly regretted not being able to learn from and build with my grandfather. Knowing how I felt to not have this chance I chose very early on that there was no way I would make that same mistake; I want to be around to play with my future grandchildren.
I guess everyone needs to find their own reason for quitting, something that is more important for them. I guess I was fortunate enough to find my reason early.

I've been smoking menthol cigarettes for the past 15 years now and my lungs are begging me to quit...just can't seem to get it done :(
I think the only way I'm gonna quit is to hire some 300 pound street fighter to follow me around all day and punch me across the face everytime I reach for a pack.
Everyone tells me the best way to quit smoking is to stop buying them...easier said then done.

The deciding to quit part is easy. The staying quit part is a sonofabisquit. I quit ten years ago. Finding something to do with your hands helps heaps. I took up knapping. Bill
