Absolutely right, Doug.
I tried to give up a long time ago, and failed.
Then I tried again around 4 years ago, and succeeded.
First time around, I didn't really want to give up.
Second time around, I managed it because I didn't want my son to grow up thinking it was OK to smoke because Daddy does. He still remembers that I used to smoke, so I tell him that I stopped because it was bad.
I just have problems trying to explain why grandad (my father) smokes.
I couldn't believe how easy it was to give up. No patches, gum or anything - just good old-fashioned willpower.
