I smoked for 23years and it has been more than 3 years since stopping ,I have no exact date and think this is the right attitude to have.

I also think saying you are not a smoker is good for the mind rather than saying I am quiting or I am trying to quit .

Of all the things I have done in my life the best decisions besides my kids and sticking it out with my wife was to stop smoking, I could never go back.
