December 27, 201411 yr Lets DO this! Get on board to become the QT's New Year babies. Make your resolution, the promise to yourself, put the cigarettes down and walk away from the addiction forever. Last December 28th I started researching how to quit successfully and I found the support forums. My official quit date was 12/31 and I am just days away from my first year free. The only thing that I did different from my other quit attempts is this forum. Lurkers... don't be afraid to join or post... this place is welcoming. I am a shy person and very quickly a site full of screen names became my friends and quit family. Please join. Make the commitment guys (Natalie, JClarke....) be this years New Year 2015 quitters. If I, someone who smoked 3 packs a day, could quit anyone can!
December 27, 201411 yr DD has said it perfect.... Being here...with my quit family...helped me quit the cigs after 52 years.... If we can....you can....it's so doable....all you need ...is the desire to put those cigs down forever....
December 28, 201411 yr Thanks. This forum is THE reason I didn't just give up yesterday. I knew that the support here would help me through my rough days and so far so good.
January 2, 201511 yr Don't be shy or scared away by the high rate or long quits... we all are friendly and know the drill. Please give your health a chance and join!

That's just scary. Those poor kids have no idea what they are in for. I just read that in 2006 Big Tobacco increased the nicotine content in cigarettes by 11%.
