When I met my wife I was smoking about 10 cigarettes a day. However, she said I'd have to quit - and I did. Bless her.
Nice work, Joe.

About the only difference to you Ben, it has been 47 years since quitting. I was a switch hitter between Lucky Strikes and Pall Malls, plus pipes and cigars---all inhaled.
One thing that surprised me after stopping was that I had a "discomfort" in my chest---that started to go away after a relatively short time. I never knew that feeling as anything but normal
I am going to guess that it was at least 20 years until the urge to smoke didn't rear it's head on a regular basis--mostly after eating or having a drink.
Today, I am not only repulsed by the smell, but in a very short time my sinuses close up.

I enjoy a good cigar on occasions but not often.

47 years.. quit on a bet with my wife.. both quit in the process.. switched to a pipe fore awhile and that just faded away, one day I couldn’t remember when I had smoked last..
Just noticed, at customer service counter, a carton of smokes is around $50.00.. Wowzers!
This morning as I entered my normal breakfast spot I noticed a new sign----No Smoking---No Vaping. That is the first time that I have seen that.
