Next Thursday (May 29) would have been Jillar's nine year smoke free anniversary.

 

In her honor and memory, along with the memories of so many other smokers who had their lives cut short, I am lighting this bonfire.

 

Please throw your unused cigarettes into the bonfire in their memory.

 

**  In the past, we would say how many unsmoked cigarettes we were throwing into the fire.  Unfortunately, our tickers mostly don't show that now.  Just state how many days, years, whatever, you have been smoke free.  There is a free unsmoked cigarettes calculator below if you want to figure out an estimate of how many cigarettes you have not smoked since you quit.   **

I am throwing my 62,223 unsmoked cigarettes in honor of Jill and others who have lost their lives to cigarettes.

Thank you Johnny for lighting the fire 🥰

In memory of our beloved Jill  and all the lovely folks taken far to early  due to this killer addiction 

I haven’t give the Tabacco Companies another penny of my hard earned money for 11 years  9 months .

I hate Cigarettes..😡😡

Thanks Johnny. 

I'll throw in all the years we all have squandered so carelessly.

 

In Jillar's honour, I'm throwing on the thousands of cigs I haven't smoked since I quit. She and others here helped me keep my determination up to stay quit and for that, I will be ever grateful!

R.I.P.my dear friend Jill 😢

Yes, @tocevoD a few weeks ago.  😢  Doreen put a post in the Socializing section.

In Jill's memory I am throwing away approximately 291,000 cigs....a pack a day for 40 years!   Jill and all of you helped me so much to give up the horrible cigarette addiction.  Jill, I didn't know you very long, but for a couple years that I knew you on here, you were a lovely person and I considered you my friend.  You left this earth way too soon and I hope you are now RIP!🙏😢  I am going to do my very best to be as good a Moderator as you were and Doreen is.  You certainly will be missed Jill! ❤️

In honor of Jillar, I toss in 5 years of un-smoked cigarettes.

OMG RIP Jill so sorry to hear this news 😢 

In honor of Jill, in honor of my own quit, and to be a beacon for all who still struggle…

 

I add my 1,207 cigarettes into this fire.

 

RIP to the lovely Jill and thank you ever so much for the kind words of inspiration.

Adding mine ... about 35,000.  I quit a few months after Jill the and shared the same journey.  

 

Miss you my friend!

Tossing in my approximate 29,500 unsmoked cigarettes in honor of @jillar! She was taken from us way, way too soon. I’m just so saddened to hear this. She helped me tremendously along my own quit journey. I will miss her. Thanks @johnny5! May the JillAir cigarette continue to help our future quitters and may her death not be in vain. 💔

Gday

Woops thought I’d thrown mine on the pyre…

66,000

old and stale 

should burn well

rest in peace 

So sorry to be late for the bonfire...Rest in Peace, dear Jillar, and thank you for all your work to save other's lives.  In memory of Jillar and our Invisable Man, and all the others we have lost, I throw almost 12 years years of un-smoked cigarettes on the fire.

I give up my 435,120 I smoked for 37 years and the 123,480 I haven’t smoked since quitting to Jillar.  I will miss her as well as all others who have passed due to this deadly disease of smoking.
