So he turned out to be not so health conscious after all. I'd hardly blame that on quitting smoking though.
For me personally, quitting was the best decision I have ever made. It has saved me money(about 13K and counting...not including future medical bills), I smell and feel better, and it has given the mindset that I CAN DO ANYTHING I set my mind to do. You have to have a strong will to do it and stay smoke free. I can't imagine ever smoking again...even just one. I was a pack a day smoker for 9 years. I've been smoke free for almost 11 now.
