Yes, both my parents and most all my aunts and uncles smoked. It's was common in that generation. My father quit cold turkey and an uncle quit. My mother quit after a hospital admit. She was in her 70's, which I am nearing. I just cannot wrap my head around quitting.

Break it down to do I want to live or die? You can do it if you love life enough.I smoked 45 years and I quit using Chantix.best move I ever made

@margot69 It was so much more common then, both of my parents smoked too, and I did until I got pregnant. By the time I quit, I was beginning to feel self-conscious about smoking. I live in the northeast but I have heard that in the south smoking is more prevalent, perhaps that's true where you are too. I think social pressure really does help if not too many people around you also smoke.
I can totally understand having trouble quitting, especially after many years. I smoked for about 10 - 12 years, I am not sure of exactly when I started!
Good luck with it, I hope you can manage to quit, you really feel better if you do.
