I completely agree with you, but I'm not ready for that yet. Life is a complicated thing.

I fully understand your position - been there, done that.

Although I'm just wondering how you decided to quit smoking?

I tried many times by making up all sorts of excuses, such as I'll quit on my birthday, New Years etc.

The day came when my mind was set In stone - I was absolutely certain that I'd quit without a shadow of a doubt. I did It cold turkey (bad move), and became very sick for around 3 weeks. By no means was It easy, but I remained firm and to this day, I haven't had a single puff for over 12 years.
