I haven't had a cigarette in 22 years! (23 years come next January 31st.) I started smoking at 14 because of peer pressure. I quit smoking January 31st 1982. It was VERY tough to quit. I did it mainly because I got tired of smelling of smoke, also because the price went to .65 cents a pack! Big money n 1982. I would wheeze walking up hills, and I'd have to sneak my smoking. I tried a puff of one about six weeks after I quit(cold turkey) and I thought I was going to die! I will NEVER go back to smoking Never!!!!
