I'm glad to hear that. Right now my aunt is in the hospital after having a cancer tumor removed from her left lung. I hope you stopped soon enough. Goodluck,

Minnesota put a dollar a pack price on smokes three years ago and that was enough to get me to finally quit. I quit when you originally quit but got addicted to nicorette and re started smoking per my doctors suggestion. Well butrin (zyban) worked really good for me. Congrats 4 years is awesome. How much weight did you gain?

Re: Smoke Free. Day 1,461

40 lbs!

.... time to work on that now.



It was easier to quit smoking than to loose weight. Smokes I could 100% walk away from and swear off. Can't do that with food. Moderation and will power must win!

Been 30 lbs with me. Never had a weight problem before but it is better then the alternative. I refuse to go to a 38 inch waist so it is time to change a few more things.

Good job! I think I am at about 7 years off of them now and I don't miss them at all.

Well done ndemge, keep at it,

I'm up to day #17,345 , but like the others I'm fighting the waistline. Doc told me to go on a 'low-fat' diet because my cholesterol numbers were starting to creep up. I'm skiing a lot right now and I'm losing about 2 pounds a week. But it doesn't help that my wife is a great cook!! And Russian food tends to be a bit on the 'heavy' side.... But we're getting there... only another 10kgs to target (22 pounds).

Chris.........

Re: Smoke Free. Day 1,461

I stopped smoking, cold turkey, when I was doing 3 to 4 packs a day, way back in 91. That was easy! The "Spare Tire" Not so easy

Re: Smoke Free. Day 1,461

Well done that's excellent just don't ever start again. For me it is 2135 days and 30lbs just hate the weight gain.

Remember that nicotine is a stimulant and we should reduce calorie intake when we quit, unfortunately I was unable to follow the theory.

Cheers

Re: Smoke Free. Day 1,461

Congratulations to all you guys!!!
I have some friends who have tried repeatedly to quit and can't do it. This tells me how hard it is so I am glad you triumphed.
I also have never been much of a smoker but could still stand to lose 20# so maybe it ain't the smokes?
Keep on quittin.

Day 2500+ for me. Quit in 2001.

Plus about 35lbs for me. With out the cigs burning off the taste buds, food tastes so good now. I really should dust off the exercise machine. :redface:

My mind still trys that trick on me sometimes. A couple of beers and deck of cards, and next thing you know I'm looking around for a cig. Eventually you get to the point that even if you do pick one up, you can't smoke it because it just tastes terrible.
Keep it up and Good Luck.

Re: Smoke Free. Day 1,461

Day 4 for me. I quit smoking my cigars. I was smoking up to 5 cigars a day. I would take a few drags, then put it out and smoke it later.
I ended up smoking cigars after I quit smoking cigarettes a few years ago.
It is REALLY hard to quit, especially when you can buy one cigar at a time; not like smokes...you have to buy a pack at a time.
They say, after 3 days the nicotine in your system is gone...it's all just a head game after day 3.

Congrats on you quitting ndemge!
