1967. 2nd year of Law school. Just got classified 1A. Got dumped by a girl I really like. My motorcycle got stolen (my only trasportation). Ran out of money. Thought it was a good time to stop.

July 29, 1998. It took me a long time to realize that I actually could. Once I figured that out, it wasn't as hard as I thought.
I had been smoking 2 packs a day. Now, five years later, I find the smell of cigarette smoke and the smell that accompanies a smoker to be very offensive.

It was 1983.
I got on a Swissair plane leaving Saudi Arabia and left the empty pack of cigarettes behind on the table at our house. Haven't smoked since. Two plus packs a day before that. Our now-23-year-old-daughter got on my case and I took her message to heart. I was a real grouch that vacation.

I've never smoked tobacco after trying it once or twice. Tried 
in college and didn't go back there much either (1960's even 
) Neither of our kids (20 & 30) smoke (at least tobacco 
)
I actually talked both my parents into quitting when I was 12 or 14 years old. Maybe that helped my Dad live to almost 80; OTOH, my Mom would "sneak" a smoke now and then, and died early...only 72. My Dad had strong will power...just decided to quit, went cold turkey, and never went back

1968, after smoking a pack of Luckies a day for 14 years. Cold turkey, and they still smell good to me. I decided I would not continue being a slave to the habit and just stopped. Oddly enough, the "cigarette cough" I had then never went away; turns out it's allergies. I still occasionally dream that I've started up again. You'll find no anti-smoking crusading from me, nor do I support anti-smoking laws; smoking is a decision for the individual person or business owner, not the government. I have to think, tho, that had I not quit, I would now have been smoking for 50 years, or, more likely, would be dead.
