good luck and congratulations to anyone who tries.

my father smoked from his early years and said that he'd rather enjoy life and smoke and be damned. When he was 80 he had a stroke, and his doctor told him that if he didnt give up smoking he could have another one, much more damaging, and end up living for years mentally incapacitated. Much to all our surpise, he gave up smoking after being a heavy smoker for over 65 years. Three years later (when he was 83) I asked him how he was going as a non smoker.

He lifted his chin and said he never even thought about it, and had never looked back. (he was a proud man, and would not have admitted to anyone if it was tough)

he died two years after that with a tumour on his lung.
