I had smoked for 25 years. At my worst, I smoked 2.5 packs per day. I was down to a single pack per day when I quit cold turkey.

My wife discovered she was pregnant the day I quit which gave me all the reason I needed to end it.

My sister-in-law is slowly dying of COPD from decades of smoking. Only 62. She quit a few years ago but it's too late.

It would annoy you. Rejoice, life is good and it will get better now that we have the Whitehouse for 8 more years.

I had no trouble quitting smoking then a year later started dipping Copenhagen. And it had me by the balls for 14 years. Had to use Chantix and it worked great for me. Nicotine free for 7 years.
