All of these folks are correct in their statements that it is not easy to quit but it is possible. I smoked for more than 45 years and always tried to limit my addiction to a pack a day. Nicotine is not just a habit but a powerful addiction similar to many other drugs. At the urging of a heart attack, I quit almost three years back and it was not easy. I don’t cough any more, don’t have to rush outside from a meeting or other functions to smoke and I feel better. Food has always tasted good to me and I cannot state that it is better since I quit. I believe cold turkey is the best way to quit as I have seen many folks use the gum, patches, smokeless tobacco, chewing tobacco, cigars and other methods which I believe kept them hooked on the nicotine and perpetuated the urge. I believe if you use the gum, etc., you have simply changed your method of intake and are still feeding that powerful urge for nicotine. The first few weeks will be tough and I don’t believe a smoker ever completely looses the craving for tobacco but it is nothing more than a passing thought for me now. I do not foresee the possibility of smoking again. I also do not believe that I am going to live forever if I don’t smell cigarette smoke again. I do not believe that second hand smoke is so harmful that a smoker must be 50 feet from a doorway to make the politically correct folks feel superior. I do believe it is possible for second hand smoke to be harmful to other folks in a confined area. Hang in there Tim and I bet you can do it. Good luck. Jim
