When Do You Go From Being an Ex-Smoker to a Nonsmoker

I am a Non-smoker that has gone through the adiction and quit process. I'm not ashamed of my smoking history and will tell any doctor - because I beat it. I have quit, and I am a non smoker.

I am an ex-slave to cigarettes and have become a non-smoker. My dr will always know I smoked as soon as he listens to my lungs :8o: This being said aren't we all a fabulous bunch of quitters I ask you? :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 95 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,437 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $380 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17

As far as I'm concerned I'm an ex and I'm a non smoker. It's just playing with words, as long as we don't smoke we're just wonderful human beings who don't smoke. Don't mind me I went down on the patch today . :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 75 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,136 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $300 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 9 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

I think the sooner we start thinking of ourselves as Non-Smokers, the sooner we will become one.

It took me about 3 weeks. I read everything I could get my hands on in those three weeks and was very active in adding new things to my life and doing things differently.

    Cigarettes Not Smoked

Interesting question BG, At 6 months quit, I am confident that I will not smoke again, but I still feel more like an 'ex' than a 'non'. Perhaps those on a year's quit+ can help here?

Provoking Question! My opinion for what it is worth: I am an ex-smoker. I went to a lot of trouble to become an ex-smoker. The section of the resturant that I sit in is the NON-Smoking section. Not the Non-smoker section. Even smokers can sit there as long as they don't light up.
