Been off them 3 full years this past New Years. I was about 1/2 - 1 pack a day smoker from age 21 to 35. NYE 2005/2006 I had really bad Bronchitis and couldn't have smoked if I wanted to, the bronchitis lasted a week. I had been thinking about quitting so this gave me the opportunity, I made it my resolution. It was really hard, but being sick really helped. It gave me that 7-10 period that most people struggle with. I stuck with it and had some serious urges, but I was able to battle through them. 3 full years later (and 25 lbs of added weight) I really do feel much better. I would lend my support to those trying, stick with it! If I can do it, anyone can.

Good Luck!
