I quit in my mid-30’s because I woke up one day during christmas break and my lungs were killing me and I couldn’t seem to catch my breath. I think I’ve had like 1 or 2 a year since then and I’ve hated them every time.
Fun story. Something that I think helped me was a few months after I quit I drank too much, then decided it would be a good idea to smoke a cigarette. It most definitely was not. I think that gave me a stronger aversion to ever picking them back up.
For actual fun, do the math on how much you would have spent in the years since you’ve quit.
I’m just happy I quit when I did, I never really had strong lungs to begin with, at least there’s hope that I won’t get something horrifying like lung cancer. I’ve seen plenty of people with it and it’s not a fun way to go.
I quit cold turkey when I was 25. I mainly did it for financial reasons at the time but I’m very glad I did.
The first day was pretty rough but fortunately it got a lot easier after that.

You’re not wrong about that math, it was something like $60 a month in just smokes.
How many smokers will see this and decide they can postpone the decision for another few years. An addict’s an addict, a loophole’s a loophole…
