  1. Hi Mick! I also quit smoking July 18, 2020. It’s been a long hard 3 months. We are close in age, I’m 60. I quit for 7 yrs 1993-1999. Started again for 21 years. I could not get myself to quit. Finally, I slapped 2 21mg nicotine patches on and said enough, I’m done smoking. I still wear 1 21mg patch and it works really well for the cravings!! I really do not feel comfortable without the patch and I won’t take any chances. although I refuse to smoke again. Like you, I don’t like smelling it on myself or to others. The reek of tobacco smoke is considered “as bad as bad body odor”. so remember that if you tempt to smoke again. And the cost!! I have started skydiving with a professional skydiving drop zone near Chicago. At $3000 to get my A license, I spent $3600 a year smoking. So it’s not such an expensive sport after all. I needed the assistance beginning freefall. The instructors are 2nd to none at this drop zone. And no, I’m not too old! I thought that at first, but I’ll keep at it until my body says I should not anymore. I have a granddaughter 4 1/2yrs old. I’m sorry she has had to smell that on me. But not now. And I don’t have to hide from her to smoke. keep at the quitting, you won’t be sorry. only takes a puff to start again!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
