Want to stop smoking ?!
Question: I used to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day. When my son was seven years old I overheard him praying one night before going to bed. He was crying as he prayed: "God, please don't let daddy smoke".
I didn't go into the room, but my eyes got misty. I threw away every cigarette in the house, and haven't smoked since. That was 24 years ago.
My suggestion to smokers is to find (or create in your mind), the proper motivation to stop smoking. Will power and desire are the strongest forces in your battle. I hope this helps someone.

I have severe COPD and I smoked for 30 years. How stupid. How sheik everyone thought at 14 years old sitting in Bob's Big Boy smoking and drinking cokes! All the Movie Stars smoked all the movies emphasized the sophistication in the 50's and 60's. We were habitual smokers and addicted and by the time we wanted to stop we found it impossible until----Diagnoses! Yep, and even then many people still can't stop and blow themselves up with their oxygen cannula and all! Dam the Tobacco industry who had Scientists advising them of how addictive how physically harmful smoking is yet chose to use their Scientists to help the tobacco industry make it's cigarettes even more addictive with additives that made the nicotine enter the blood stream more. Please everyone make a concerted effort to quit and to keep bugging those who do smoke to stop!
You were stupid for smoking in the first place.
But you're a good man for stopping.
Good for you and your son.
