Really, one puff led to that! For newer quitter, do it one hour at a time, then work the one day at a time. Your quit should be for the moment. Avoid thinking too far ahead, you may get discourage. This is a journey and not a race to the finish line. It does take time so prepare for that. I was speaking with a relative yesterday and she had not smoked for twenty years. Prior to the twenty years, she had quit for 18 months. While in Canada visiting friends she thought that she would just have a puff of one of those strong Players just to see what she was missing. She thought it would be no big deal. After that she tells me that she started smoking a couple a day. And then she found herself stopping by the store each morning before work to pick up a pack. I mean really, one puff led to all of that. Quitting is serious business; smoking is not glamorous. It must be easy to return to smoking because people that have it beat do return. As others have mentioned, people that smoke wish that they didn�t and could quit. And for those of us that don�t smoke (you and me) stay away from the temptation. After all, give your body a permanent brake. How many years a puffer???
