Good on you. You’ve made a wonderful decision. Don’t be disheartened or give up if you lapse back into it. A lot of smokers take up to 5 or 6 attempts before giving up for good

  The great thing about making it to a whole decade is that I can pretty safely say that I am not going to lapse- and if I can do it, so can anyone else! Its over!

its very hard, so glad for you…if it doesnt last never give up trying!

I’m just sad to see so many young ones smoking now. Congratulations on quitting

Well done for stopping a habit

Congrats may neither of you lose!!

Congratulations stick to it, nothing good comes out of smoking.

Congratulations and I hope there is no winner here!

Thanks for sharing your story It shows it can be done with a strong will power

Well done you should be really proud only you can make that change and you did it your little one will benefit from that decision you made…

no brainer… QUIT… and why

financial gain,
increased health
food will taste better
you won’t stink
your breath won’t be offensive
and it gives your children a healthier environment.

I use to when I was 13 but been off them for almost 5 years

I’ve recently quit too. I’m on day 18. My husband out of the blue decided he was quitting. We both know full well it doesn’t work if we both don’t do it so I went along with it. I also decided to stop drinking alcohol at the same time.

Well done! I quit several years ago, and just recently relapsed (kicked myself hard over it!) Have stopped again now, but still, knowing how bad and expensive and all the rest – i want one…

Well done to both of you, it would have been hard to do it but you guys did and I am proud of you both and your daughter is probably as well.

good on u both. it is a hard habit to quit i think.

onya both is truly is a hard habit to break, my ex has given it a go several times without success, my reason to quit was easy it was both for my kids and for my father in law who had cancer of the throat. I tell my kids the dangers of it and say just take pop for example, knowing he can never swim or go scuba diving or do the things he loved before is devasting and a reality that the kids can actually see and live with. I only hope that one day their father too can kick the habit before its to late

Well done. I know it is a struggle as I watched both my parents break the habit.

Well done to you. I gave up smoking whilst pregnant with my Son unfortunately I had a stressful Year and Lost my Mum and started up again. Hoping to give up again soon

Congratulations on making this big decision and sticking to it. You will now be able to run around after your kids without having to stop and gain your breath, like I remember my dad doing.
