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?

I used to give up smoking for Lent but would light up after Easter Sunday Mass. Then finally after smoking for 16 years I quit completely but it took numerous attempts.

I've never done it, but I hear all the time people who use E-cigs and vape are getting away from tobacco and even nicotine. I actually vape just for the pleasure, the stuff smells and tastes really good.

I quit because I am afraid of fire. (I am actually paranoid of fire.) Then I found the expense of the 'Nicorette gum' to be prohibitive; so I quit that too.
I certainly have never regretted quitting smoking.

I quit twice while in, but relapsed quickly, then I quit again about a year out of the service when I met my wife and haven't gone back. It was way easier to quit when you spend all your time with someone that doesn't smoke. As far as aids go, I liked the cinnamon gum the best. The spice of the cinnamon covered the taste of the nicotine better than mint or the god awful fruit.

I applaud those that have quit 1SG (Join to see), but to put it on an evaluation?

I can see where it could be justified I guess but what if the Soldier / Leader starts again? Would the rater have to re engage the bullet with a needs improvement then?

I mean I used to drink and now I choose not to and inform my troops that they can call me at any time day or night before the law gets involved and I will assist them in making the correct decision.
