I am posting this to let people know that I am quitting smoking. Some might say, who cares? [_[  I think it will be harder for me to start again if everyone knows. Kinda makes me more accountable. Anyways, Wish me luck, Brian.

Ha ha, the doctor in the hospital a couple of weeks ago said I will be carrying around a oxygen tank with me by the time Im 40 if I dont quit. For some strange reason it scares me more than dying. As far as whatshername goes I gotta look out for myself. But ya, it will be that much harder.

Good on ya Brian! Can't speak from experience, but I know it's been tough for a lot of people I know, some who couldn't do it, who ended up with the tank.... not much of a way to live
Hope it works for you!

I don't wish you luck, because you don't need it. All you need is the willpower.

I've been clean for 5 years, with the help of the patch and chewing toothpicks. It's the best thing I could have done. You get my full respect for making this decision!! perhaps we'll talk Kim into being as determined as you are.

Great decision Brian, I know first hand the effects of smoking.  My dad has 1 1/2 lungs and has emphysema really bad, and many of medical issues from it.

You will enjoy life much better.

Good for the both of you.

This is just motivation:

Some of the things I found after my accident;

I f you are a smoker, there a bigger chance of blod cloth after surgery.

While my bone could regenerate after 2-3 month, I read about a smoker with the same injuries and operation, His bone have not progressed after 8 months.

Hang in there Brian!
it'll be BRUTAL but you will never, ever look back and think \"gee, I really wish I had never quit!\"
hopefully Kim will find it in her willpower to choose to grow old with you :huh:

My dad quit just over a year ago now after smoking for 55 years. He was a two pack a day smoker and he did it cold turkey. I never thought I'd see the day. He said that it was easier than he thought. His reason for quitting-----He wants to see his grandkids grow up. And obvious health reasons.
 
Good luck to you, if my old man can do it, anyone can.

Silas, you should join Brian in a pact (no, not a pack!).  Just think of the cool parts you will be able to buy with what you save.

Brian, get her on here, maybe we can berate her to join in on this official Airspeed Forum Butt Out.  

Now, where's Bruce McCrindle?

The Force be with you.

I smoked for 10 years and quit May 1st, 1982. I quit a sales job to go back to school and I told my self, If I could not do that job I could not afford to smoke. I was in insurance sales doing thee packs a day.


First three weeks are the worst and good company helps.

Can't relate off of personal experience but here's some inspiration.  A friend of mine after smoking for some 30+ bought a BRAND NEW pack of smokes got in his truck for his daily commute and decided to quit.  Placed the full pack on his dash and it sat there to remind him every day for (what I remember) a couple years.  He never opened up and never ever had another drag.  He passed away in the spring of 2006 of an aneurysm, in his 60's.  He got to see his family grow up and have grandchildren.  Young by todays standards so who know.  His name was John Isaacs and he is missed.

May you find the same kind of will power Brian, and get Kim on board too.  :)
