Reasons to quit

Due to losing a job and now being unemployed for 6 months I have no choice but to give up smoking, I do detest the government for making it so expensive to smoke, it seems as though the taxing regime forces people to accept misery and suffering. I hope it is only for a short time.

Staying positive

I am watching the v8 supercar coverage at Bathurst and iCanQuit is advertised everywhere. They even have a helicopter cam. Thousands of people watch Bathurst, and if it helps people quit smoking, then i think that its great. Go Lowndesy 🏁

As I am 27, I decided to quit because of my health and fitness. I'm not quite as mentally sound as I could be -- trust me, I remember not smoking and there is a difference in actions. (And yeah there is a difference now and again). In the time I smoked, my actions never really had a valid reason to happen. Maybe I have a disorder, but that calmed down and now I feel so much better. Pertaining...

Today i have a personal celebration of No Smoking for 4 years... I have saved and stashed away $28,000 and 80.00 dollars, today i presented to my non smoking hubby my savings for the 4 years, he was just so speechless and so proud of me but handed me back the cash.... Just very suprising on what we spend on our habit but we will find it to feed our habit... I am pleased i have come so far o...

Round about 2years ago, I gave up. Cruising through life until July this year when I had a massive heart attack needing 2stents, all good now, back at work starting cardiac rehab today. It’s never to late, has been a wake up call.The damage was already there, lucky for me there is no muscle damage to the heart, I urge you all to keep going and get checked out by your doctors. Cheers

Just over 2 years smoke free and I have NOT spent over $30,000 on smokes OMG WTF. People say wow you have saved $30,000 ...no but I have been able to live. Since I have stopped my bills are now all up to date, I don't have sleepless nights wondering how I am going to pay my bills and buy cigs. No more your "Account is Overdue" no more final notices..... the relief is unbelievable. I stopped smoke...

After 53 years of smoking daily I quit cold-turkey on July 12, 2012. Since that day I have battled numerous problems that in one way or another sprang from my 53 year addiction to nicotine. I have written about most of the negative results from smoking that I have had to deal with.

3 weeks ago I had my last drag on my last smoke. 3 weeks ago I couldn't afford to pay my bills, 3 weeks ago I couldn't sit through an entire game of monopoly with my big kids or chase my toddler in the back yard without stopping for a smoke break or 10. 3 weeks ago I felt down and out and 1 phone bill away from potential homelessness. I clung to those smokes like they were my only friend, the o...
