I've got six years cigarette free thank God. I quit smoking using nicotine gum but then became addicted to that crap for another year! It really messed up my teeth etc - I know, not supposed to chew it...

Anyway I know I am thru with cigs (one day at a time etc) and what really helps me is when i see someone smoking I watch them dragging in and I visualize all that gunky smoke going into my perfect pink lungs and when they exhale I think about how stupid they look breathing smoke out their mouths - works for me.

Terrible, terrible addiction. I know ex-heroin addicts & alcoholics who say that was nothing compared to giving up nicotine.
