My dad smoked and my grandfather smoked, so it was around me from a young age. I got remarried and my wife was on me to stop, but I continued to smoke, and I was one that smoked for several reasons: bored, stress, drinking, eating, but mainly because I enjoyed a cigarette. Then my kids went through DARE at school and started asking me to quit. That changed me forever!

Once the kids got through to me to stop, I made a choice and realized I needed to do it for them as much as me. I got on Chantix and after several weeks of dedication, I stopped taking the pills and doing all the stuff associated with the therapy. I have not smoked in almost 3 years.

I no longer have sinus problems, smokers cough, smelly clothes, are other things associated with smoking. It was the hardest thing I ever did, but I was able to make it and so can you! Rob/Dink, when it gets bad (and trust me, it will get bad), log on and BS on Saltycajun! We'll be here for you! Good luck!

I can smell things better also... Thus making my food more flavorfull!!
