Today marks 12 months since my last drag of a cigarette. I am only making this post because "icanquit" emailed me. Otherwise it is business as usual for me; in that I no longer think about it (smoking). Quitting smoking is one of the best things I have ever done. These days, when I see people sucking smoke deeply into their lungs; I recognise I dodged a bullet. Lucky me. For now anyw...

Hi all, It is almost 7 months since my last drag of a cigarette. I no longer have any urge or impulse to suck cigarette smoke or any other type of smoke into my damaged lungs. Since stopping to suck smoke into my lungs I have realised a number of facts relating to this dreadful habit. 1. Smoking effects everything. 2. Smoking reduces the ability of blood to deliver oxygen throughout ...

It has been 6 months; although I am no longer counting the days, hours, minutes etc... I said no more at the ripe old age of 47. Don't ask me why, I just did.

Needless to say that I will...

Look far and wide, however you will never find a tobacco company executive that uses the product. Why? They understand the science behind their products...

When I think about it, the most very basic thing we need to do as living human beings is suck in oxygen i.e., breathe The cigarette is and always was designed to be a delivery device (via smoke) to inject our bloodstream with highly addictive nicotine. This way we become addicted and keep...

My story is a bit of a long one. My older sister introduced me to cigarettes in 1979 when I was 12. At that time we were living in a suburb that was full of negativity and we were also living with parents that were polar opposites of each other. Neither of our parents smoked. Our Dad was however over the top religious and made us kids feel worthless as I guess his religion made him also fee...
