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 quit smoking cigarettes 3 months ago "cold turkey". I occasionally smoke an Ecig but I plan on stopping that as well. I feel so much better and have gained some weight finally, lol.

I used to smoke cigarettes and "Black & Mild"s. I did both to look cool. We all know by now that is not a good enough reason. I quit smoking 15 years ago. It was spontaneous and "cold turkey", but it was definitely one of the top 25 best decisions that I have made. Keep at it, battle.

I smoked from about 12 years old until I was 26 years old, never was a heavy smoker, I quit during boot camp, started up again when I was stationed in Japan but after running the best PRT of my career I thought I had a heart attack, got my bathroom door busted down by the base fire department, taken to the ER and the doctor told me I had only hyperventilated, still that day I quit and never looked back.
I know its not easy for some people to quit, but if they really want to quit they will find a way, just having people around you yammering in your ears about how bad it is does not help. If you really want to quit you will find a way to do it.

I personally started smoking the first time at 16 and quit less than a year later. I started again after basic and AIT and quit the second and final time about 4-5 years ago. I feel so much better not smoking and food tastes 10 times better.

Never started, never will. Stuff is too nasty and my health is too important.

Was dipping a can a day and smoking a pack a day. Used nicorette gum and followed the directions. Been tobacco free since, 2001.

I would like to say I am smoke free, but I have had one cigarette a month since I "quit" back in October 2013. I did it cold turkey. Every time I have quit I do it that way. I smoke for about 8-12 months and then I quit for 2-3 years. I have a trigger that gets me smoking again, but I don't know exactly what it is.

I average a cigar once a year or two, usually within a social military setting. I never tried cigarettes, and the last time I chewed was once in high school. That was enough to make me sick and I never tried it again.

I can see that! An old guy I worked with at Lowe's prior to joining the Army smoked a pipe and I use to love the smell of it.
