3 years stopped after 22+yrs smoking. Cut down, did nico-gum when cravings were bad (e.g drinking/socialising... for few months then just stopped.
Most of the time the smell disgusts me but sometimes (particularly cold winter days) when you get a waft I think "mmmm". But would never start again.
Think the worst is walking past someone who's smoking green. That's a smell I'll always love.I'd tried stopping in the past but never had a real reason to stop so always failed - actually to be honest, I never even really tried that hard.
It helps to have a reason. Some others have posted it's when kids came along. My reason was my wife. She wasn't anti-smoking but didn't like the smell on me so before we got married I was completely stopped. Something I wanted to do for her.It's a habit I wish i'd never started in the first place but hey-ho.
When I see kids smoking these days I really want to go up and suggest to them to stop and that they'd regret getting hooked in the future. But then I think as to how I'd have reacted when I was that age and someone twice my age came up to me to tell me that - I'd have told them to fuck off and mind their own business.
Haha!
