Just trying to see what people do!? Especially if you have quit, please share your success story.
Did you know that tobacco cessation can be used on the 2166-8-1 NCO counseling form?

no one likes a quiter.. enjoy who you are and be happy with that. but if you want to stop doing an activity such as smoking or dipping, then stop. Dont talk about it... be about it.

Some people have to work up to it CPO. Not everybody can just quit cold turkey that easily.

When i joined the service I had not used and tobacco since high school. However being around so many smokers I went back to smoking and being that the mind is a strong thing I gave up smoking before my first son was born and haven't smoked since it has been almost 4 years now.

That is a great reason to quit (among many others) your children's health will thank you for it, and hopefully your example of a non-smoker will be one for them to emulate.

I smoke cigars on special occasions (2-3 times a year; IE birthdays/births/weddings). I have smoked (cigarettes) and dipped a few times throughout my time in service. I have never felted addicted to any tobacco source, which I guess is a good thing...

Quiting tobacco use was pretty difficult and there were a few setbacks; however, I am glad I kicked the bad habit!

I used to dip but my at the time gf/now wife made me quit. I tried to take it back up but ever since I quit, I can't stomach the smell of it. I've used snus instead but it just isn't the same. There are some days that I miss that tingling in my lip but I can do without it.

I'm the same way with cigarettes, I can smell them from crazy far distances and if around too much of the smoke I get a bad headache.

SSG, I hope you do. Would be great to see that happen. My wife smoked for many years but she quit last July when we found out she had a tumor. She literally quit cold turkey. I truly don't know how she did it but she did. It CAN be done. Thoughts and prayers for strength for you.

ya the key to it is to try to have as low stress as possible until you have made it far enough where the stress does not trigger the desire to smoke which being in the army is hard to do but I have seen it done and will keep trying til I either quit smoking or die trying

I found if you have a good enough reason, you can do it. I had tried a couple times before I actually quit.

nothing wrong with being honest SFC Swartz, we all have our habits and we have reasons/excuses for them.
