I smoked non-filter cigarettes heavily for ten years. Maybe that is the reason I have the health problems I do today. Then I switched over to filter cigarettes. Then I tried cutting back. Cutting back isn't easy to do. You're always craving more nicotine. Finally I did it cold turkey. I let myself smoke for the rest of the day, and that was the end. Didn't even enjoy those last few. I had a weekend relapse several months later, but on Monday, I had quit again, never to start back up. That was in 1986. I have no desire for them now.

One of the major psychological problems I had with quitting cigarettes was the fear I wouldn't be able to find find another way to pass time, once I quit. It turned out to be a non-issue.

I didn't quit in 1983, HE TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME.

I used to feel guilty about smoking, but kept arguing with the Lord, "Why should I quit as long as I enjoy it?"

One morning I sat up, and lit one up while still sitting on the edge of the bed. And as I took that first drag, it tasted HORRIBLE, and this voice boomed in my head. "What's your excuse now dummy?" I didn't have one, and I knew my smoking was all over. I was smoking expensive "order by mail" Nat Sherman's back then, and just had one pack used up out of a brand new carton, and gave them all away. I have never lit up another cigarette. Was I tempted, sure, for about a year, and then one day at work, I noticed how horrible an ash tray smelled from across the room, and knew the temptation was over.
