My "stop smoking store" is rather short but interresting. After smoking since 14 and trying to stop many times I was lucky. In September 1980 at the age of 33 I visted on a sunday (dont know which one ) a friend for a BBQ. I went past the petrol station, filled the car and bought a carton of Paul Hogans favorits. Thats how you bought your smokes then and made them taxdeductable. Smoked, eat and drunk at the BBQ and at home I had the last cigarett of my current pack. Slept and woke on moday morning with a carton of cigaretts in my posession but never smoked again. If I could sell this miracle I would be rich. No pain, no withdrawl, no discomfort. The only thing was that over the next 10 years or so I had occasionally very  vivit dreams that I smoked again. Lucky it was only dreams but it rattled me a bit. Now after 34 years of not smoking the dreams are gone but the hate for cigaretts is still very strong. I did not like that something like nicotine had such a power over me for so long. My advice for anyone trying to stop is try, try and more try. One day it will work and you stop.
