Anyone who has the strength and willpower to succeed like that has my utmost admiration.

My dad did exactly the same. He just decided one day that he was stupid to ruin his health and he stopped, threw away the cigs in the cupboard and never touched another. This was a man whose main hobby had been counting his Embassy coupons and picking his "free gifts" from the catalogue.

I've never smoked so I've never had the problem but I have seen how hard people struggle to give up and repeatedly fail. Good luck to all of those who are trying.
