I gave up on December 16 1990 and have never smoked a cigarette since. My wife bought me Allen Carr's book which was more about breaking habits and associations which has always made it easy never to go back.

The only place I ever notice it is on holiday in Greece as it was an association that I never broke. Aware of it but have no urge to do it.

Recently stopped drinking after reading his book about drinking. It argues that there is no indication of any genetic disposition and I tend to agree with him.
