Though my alter-ego's photo is always got a smoke in his mouth, I quit a few times, finally for good (practice makes perfect)<br />
<br />
What I found helped the most was varying your routine. I always smoked in the car, for example, so I found something else to do. It's impossible to smoke when you're trying to sing along to the Dropkick Murphys.

Congrats :) As a smoker, I do envy people who have such a strong will that they can quit. Good job, man :) Have fun with the books and let us know what you think of them :) <br />
<br />
Ciao, <br />

Thank ya all for the well wishes and the anecdotes. Yup, kicking the habit's been tough. Maybe not as tough as Joe Pike or Mr Reacher, but tough. Best motivation received yet - I was whingeing about wanting a smoke when my four year old daughter said, but daddy, I don't want you to die. Guess she's still waiting for the best seller I've promised her - her inheritance don't amount to spit in a bucket right now. Smart kid.

I smoked from 16-29, but only wimpy menthol cigarettes(and less wimpy cigars) <br />
It wasn't hard for me to quit- I was purely a social smoker. You know the type- one pack lasted me Sunday-Thursday, and then I'd smoke a pack in the pub on Friday or Saterday night. <br />
I quit when I met my husband(a non smoker). I quickly realized that if I wanted to get any 'closer', I would have to quit. <br />
Keep up the good fight, Dennis. <br />
Whenever you're tempted? Think about burning a ten dollar bill. <br />

Dennis, <br />
<br />
Don't worry, man. It gets easier. I'm just shy of one year stick-free, also after 20. Hell, I don't even feel the need to decapitate people anymore just for saying 'Good Morning'. <br />
<br />
And yeah, this breathing easier thing's a kick, isn't it? <br />

I smoked for a few years, back in my misguided youth. The best thing I've ever done for myself was quit. For many years now, I haven't been able to abide the smell of tobacco smoke. You may still feel the urge, but in time it will pass and you'll never want cigarettes again. Books, OTOH, are a much harder addiction to shake. Be careful about feeding that habit. You might end up living in the garage because the books have taken over every inch of the house.
