If you want even more incentive to quit? Think of how much you spend on those "coffin-nails" per day, and do the math.
If you're a 2 pack-a-day smoker, and smokes are $6.00 a pack, that's $12 a day, for 365 days, an that's $4,380.00 a year!

Think how much fishing gear that would buy?

I quit roughly 28 years ago, but I wasn't really "hooked" at the time.
I was smoking about a pack a week, but as a very athletic kid, I noticed a decline in my performance, and chose running and breathing of (at the time) looking cool.

Many of us started out of peer pressure, and unfortunately some of our peers won't be as dedicated or sympathetic to our attempts at quitting. For those that REALLY REALLT want to quit, stick with it. Remember, you didn't become hooked after one smoke, so quitting may take more than one attempt. Keep telling yourself that you WILL SUCCEED, and develop a group of friends/relatives that you can rely on for support.

GOOD LUCK in the new year, and I wish you all success in your decision to quit!
