Good Luck! You made the right choice .... I quit as soon as I got out of the Navy (over 23 years now!) and haven't had one since. I started smoking at the age of 14. When I was in the Navy I was smoking up to 2 1/2 packs a day. So if I can do it my friend I know you can. I quit cold turkey no patches, no gum, no anything and I did it. Ahhhh fresh air ...
