I've never smoked once and never will. My entire family, including large extended family, smoked when I was growing up. I never had any interest before or after watching my great grandfather die of emphysema and cancer. He had needles sticking out of his back when he passed because they were trying to give him some comfort through acupuncture. That is a day I'll that will never be erased from my mind.
My mom tried quitting several times and just couldn't do it. After three years of trying Aqua Filters, hypnosis and acupuncture, she finally kicked it for good in 1983 and hasn't smoked since.
My Dad continued until he one day, he had a physical and the doctor told him implicitly to quit. He quit that day and has never smoked since. That was 1985.
Godspeed to all of those trying to quit.
