I was finally able to quit six years ago.

I had a triple by-pass but what almost killed me was when I went into respiratory failure after the surgery due to my smoking.

I know it's tough at first but I promise you that you will wake up one morning and suddenly realise you have quit...you will have no desire at all....then you'll find yourself going for days and weeks without thinking about it.

You will feel on top of the world...
