I quit smoking on New Years eve 2010. I’ve wanted to do it for a while, but until then, never really REALLY wanted to I guess.
I switched from Marlboro mediums (back when they were called mediums) to Natural American Spirit ultra lights (orange pack I think). This served two purposes:- Lower the amount of tar and nicotine
- Decrease the number of chemicals additives.
I also met a wonderful girl that didn’t pressure me to quit, but told me that she would rather I didn’t smoke.
Having completed the transition to the lighter cigarette, it made it a little easier to go longer and longer without a cigarette. I decided that it was time to start 2011 smoke free.
I finally did it!
