I haven't smoked for over 20 years. Giving up was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and it took me numerous attempts before I finally succeeded.
Now I can't remember the last time I even thought about taking one puff.
I do remember some things though.
The first cigarette in the morning and how bloody horrible it tasted. The filthy smelly ashtrays. The huge amount of money I wasted. The pathetic feeling of having to do something purely because I was addicted, and how unbearable it was to go without. The sheer irrationality of burning something and sucking it into your body.
I won't even mention any health or environment issues.
