I am at around... 15 years without a cig... Quit when I was about 21-22... I had been smoking for probably 5-6+ years at the time... Worst habit I ever picked up and I have delved into quite a few bad ones over the years! I just don't get the appeal... When I was 16, it was to be "cool", once I was over 21, drinking and smoking was becoming kind of boring... But I was hooked! Took me a while to get it done, but I progressively made myself sick of it! Anybody ever see Clockwork Orange where the main character gets negative association therapy to "cure" him of violent tendencies to the point where he became ill if he was to even think of something violent? I was able to pretty much condition myself the same way about cigarettes! Every time I smoked, I would just focus on the negatives- smell like smoke, making my teeth yellow, giving me CANCER, heart disease, all sorts of negative health issues... Waste of money and all that for... Something that didn't even get me drunk or high? WHY? Eventually I got to the point where if I am even around cigarettes I get a bit sick to my stomach! If I actually try to smoke a cig or cigar? I WILL throw up! I remember the day I started to lite up a cig, spit it out Took out the pack I had and tossed it in the trash. Never bought another one after that!
