Thank you, Jo, for the celebratory thread! Nine months, it seems so unreal. I’ve been feeling blue in the last days so it’s a wonderful reminder that I don’t fully suck ? When I look at this quit it’s so different from all the previous ones. First, the trigger to quit was completely trivial: I got perfume that you couldn’t smell on me, got angry and decided to stop. If I heard such a story I’d give that person a couple of days maximum. And here I am nine months later. In the meantime I had to change my job, move to another country, I discovered how nice sport and exercise is, lost 8 kilo and yesterday I enrolled to art classes. Unbelievable. I was lucky to have the first week relatively easy, afterwards I found qsmb. It gives a lot at least to read, and the fact that you’re not alone is a tremendous help too. Thank you, all of you, for being here, sharing your stories and giving a kick in the ass when necessary!

I think the most important factor will be in changing the perception of smoking as an attribute of coolness. Most of the kids want to be seen as cool and edgy, and cigarettes are a symbol of it, in the movies, tv shows, everywhere. Will this charm be taken away, that’ll be half of success. In this aspect it’s about emotions, not knowledge. I knew smoking was unhealthy and kept on smoking anyway.

Thank you Shane! It’s my first smoke-free summer since forever, and I’m surrounded by beautiful nature! Definitely a new experience for me ?

Probably it depends on the country. Switzerland has a huge problem nowadays with kids of twelve seriously addicted and having full access to the stuff.

If it works as a quitting method, then great. Anything that works is a legit way. My problem is with vaping sold as a healthy alternative, available to children, not controlled, without warning label or age limit and allowed in public spaces.

I am sending you hugs, Doreen. I wish I could do more.
