I quit in 1983. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. The addiction was very strong. I immediately bought shares in Philip Morris. The best way to beat the addiction is to completely change your life style. I started jogging and only eating healthy foods. You cannot run (or walk) far if you smoke. Within two years, I finished my first marathon. After about a year the urge to smoke left me completely. You get through one day at a time and keep focused on the goal. Good luck to all of you who will quit on
1 Jan. Live strong.
