I stopped around 1972 or so - just stopped one day because I woke up and couldn't bear the thought of a cigarette. I've never felt the urge for one ever again.

It's my own belief, for what it's worth, that there is a genetic predisposition in some people, towards drugs like nicotine or alcohol - or whatever - which makes it much harder for them to stop. Whether this has any truth or not, I don't know - just a guess on my part.

But anyway - good luck to you if you can resist the urge to smoke!
