@karenjf I quit in 1995 after about 25 years of smoking. It too several tries, but nicotine gum helped. Still after all these years diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma in my lower right lung. Had a lobectomy. Mercifully the cancer was small--hadn't spread and I feel blessed. There are still times, I miss smoking! I won't do it again, but I've heard quitting cigarettes is worse than quitting heroine--much more addictive. Anyway, good for all of us for quitting.
