Next week, Nov 5 at 1:27PM EST, it'll be 5 years since I lit up my last cigarette. I now don't smoke or vape now. I used the Patch for two months after my last smoke. Once that was done I never picked up a smoke again. It was a LOT easier to quit than I thought it would. For decades folks were telling me how hard it was to quit. It's why I never tried. One day I was just kind of over smoking. Like it had been a 20+ year fad for me and I stopped. Maybe I just don't have an addictive personality.
My mom told me that my dad smoked when they met/got married. Grew up on a farm, went into the army. Started some time in his teens and quit cold turkey the day she told him I was on the way. Think he would have been about 24 at the time, so not like it had been decades. He lit up a cigar a couple of times I know of when I was young - family weddings, I think. I believe the friend I mentioned quit for her 40th. I never took it up as a regular thing - just the occasional cigar. Been a few years since my last one.

My dad was the same way. I'm the oldest child and when my dad heard I was coming he immediately quit. He's in his mid-70s now and hasn't smoked since. Sadly I can't say the same for my little brother. He's been trying to quit for about a decade with no success.

I never smoked. My dad quit in the Navy (late 60s/early 70s) until the ship's doctor showed him the lungs of a long time smoker who died at sea. He said it looked like when oil gets in a puddle of water.
