Okay I'm a forty year old male. I have smoked for 26 years. The last few years I have smoked a minimum of 1 packet a day. I have never tried or wanted to quit before. I started out cold turkey on the 3rd January 2012. Today is fifty days. $800.00 saved. So far not a single puff nor have I had a serious craving. I really don't know why I didn't stop sooner. I still enjoy a drink. I don't stink and am saving money. I haven't put on any weight either. Life is soooooo good right now.
