Amen!...I haven’t touched a cigarette in over 30 yrs, and another thing God got me doing,imo, was to get fit and work out at the gym,..Praise God for getting me fit ,I look and feel like a different person,🙏💗

I reckon you would be pleased if your family all stay quit as well (assuming any of them even smoked at all...)

My Son has quit, sadly my aunty  died at age 60 through smoking cigarettes, she died of lung cancer, we used to sit and smoke together, when she was diagnosed, that was when I gave up, and never touched another cigarette,I lived with my aunty for quite a while.

Well, it can have a sobering effect when something like that happens.........

Maybe you had already quit by the time your son started smoking? because otherwise it's not unusual for parents and adult children to smoke together.

I guess when you quit, you found that occasional social smoking wouldn't work either, so you quit altogether?

I was only 18 or so and it wasn't a problem--God just took it away along with other more dangerous practices.

I quit after getting the flu. I could not smoke while I was sick. I decided to quit after not having smoked for 3 days. I had been smoking about a pack a day.

My father started smoking when he was 15. When he was 41, he was smoking 4.5 packs a day. He often lit a new one from the last one. He went to a company to help him quit. They had a proven method of helping. Ultimately, there came a day when he just had to decide to stop. I think it was only a few months after he started the program. He said he had nightmares for decades about smoking though. I know that he took up eating sunflower seeds when he quit because the habit was more than psychological and chemical. It was also physical. He had the habit of placing his hand to his mouth.

I know that it is possible no matter how much or how long you have smoked. The doctor told him that he would not live to be 50 and he is 87 today.

Often it can make a difference if someone else in the household smokes................
