To add to that, a list of chemicals in cigarettes that the tobacco companies admit to.

Acetone and Toluene: Industrial solvents
Ammonia
Arsenic
Butane
Cadmium: Used in batteries
Cyanide
Formaldehyde: Embalming fluid (Should help at least to save a few bucks when the time comes).

I've done some smart things in my life, a whole mess of stupid things, some things that were clever, and others that I'd rather not remember. The best thing I ever did was quit smoking. Find a way to do it, find someone to help you if you can't do it on your own. It's that important. I quit in my late twenties. If I had waited much longer I'm not sure I could have done it, and that's the key. The longer you wait the more unlikely quitting becomes.
 
On Thanksgiving Monday I watched my 77 yr old Uncle die of smoking related illness. He had a cancerous lung tumor that they did not have time to operate on. The Pulminary Disease and congenital heart failure took him.

I watched him gasp for breath and it was heartbreaking to watch.

I'm a smoker. It was my wake up call.

Thanks for the reminder Esco.

Excellent. I somehow managed to quit years ago cold turkey with the help of a friend. We both kept our bond for one year. Unfortunately he went back to it, fortunately I didn't. Different things work for different people.

For me I truly believe it was a close call. For at least ten years after I quit, I would have the occasional dream where I found myself smoking again, and thought I had fucked up. Then I woke up.

blah blah blah noone likes a quitter
 
My father was one tough dude, lemme tell you.

He smoked small Players Plain as long as I could remember. Started smoking when he was 15 or so (I would guess, if not earlier) to age 62 or 63. 50 years of a pack and half a day. As a kid I remember seeing all the smoking causes cancer commercials on TV (why don't they have those anymore?) and I kept hounding him to quit.

But he never would. Smoked in the car, smoked in the house, smoked around his kids, smoked at work, smoked sitting in the backyard.

A big part of the reason I have never so much as taken even a drag on a cigarette, let alone even tried smoking.

Finally he quit cold turkey one day without telling anyone. I asked him how he managed to do it, his reply was, "I just stopped buying them."

Anyway, in April 2004 at age 73 he died of Lung cancer. He should have lived to be a 100. He was that strong of a man. His oldest brother is closing in on 90 and just got married for the third time about 2 years ago. He's probably out square dancing right now. My dad was the baby of 6 kids. All his other siblings are still alive other than one brother (who lived hard). When he was in the hospital, I was talking to his doctor briefly and he said that over two thirds of long term smokers WILL DIE of cancer of one sort or another before their time. That was his opinion.

Trust me when I tell you that it's no way to go.

Wish I was as addictive as cigarettes.
 
I finally quit smoking (again)5 months ago. I quit for 6 months last year and then had a major relapse last Christmas that lasted for a few months. Once the will to quit becomes greater than the will to smoke, it is surprisingly easy. Just don't use ciagrettes as part of your reward system. I made that mistake the first time.
