The research I did leading up to quitting had me thinking it was going to be much harder than it actually was, I barely suffered through any of the harsh side effects of nicotine withdrawal. I often told myself I would have done it soon if I had realized how easy it was going to be. It seems like it’s been so long since I quit smoking that I don’t even consider myself a former smoker anymore.

TESTIMONIALS
I can breathe, I don’t cough, and to be honest, with the cost of cigarettes, I could not afford to smoke. Before we both quit we went through at least three cartons per week. Today that would be over $250 per week (or $1,000 per month). THAT’S A HOUSE PAYMENT!

I had been smoking for about 25 years. My life partner told me that evening, ‘Why don’t you just quit smoking?’ So I put them down, and by the end of the second day, she was ready to buy me my smokes. I told her no. I had just lost my Dad and I was doing it for him. Each day was easier and easier. I still had urges but I didn’t cave in. Now I’m so glad I quit and I feel so much better.
