Have you stopped smoking nicotine since 2006?

Dear board,

I would like to know if people who smoked nicotine in 2006 have stopped smoking or switched to e-cigs in the last ten years for personal reasons. Thank you for your help. It is anonymous.

I think I stopped smoking in 2006 or very close to it. I used nicoderm. It was very difficult. I still occasionally think about smoking.

Quit in 2005, close enough?

Weaned myself down to about half a pack a day from pack and a half. Final effort I used nicoderm, which was quite new back then. Before that all we had was nicorette gum, which was quite foul tasting and I couldn't stand it in the morning.

Another thing was we were going on a family vacation, and smoking was always a pain on road trips anyways.

Congratulations on those who quit.

My uncle stopped smoking in the first week of January, 2010. He used to smoke two packs per day for around 30 years. Tried so many different ways to stop smoking. The thing that finally worked: On Thanksgiving 2009, I gave him a book called The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, written by Allen Carr. He read the book, followed the instructions, and since 2010 hasn't smoked, hasn't craved, doesn't miss it even a little bit. No drugs, no substitutes, no nicotine gum or patch or vaporizer, no significant life changes. No cigarettes for the last 6 years.

What does 2006 have to do with it? What's the significance?

I quit smoking almost 2 months ago and haven't smoked since I ran out of cigs. I've switched to dipping tobacco.

Sorry Saint Frankenstein that is personal. And I'm sorry if I cluttered religiousforums up with a non-debating thread.

Interestingly, there was a segment about people quiting smoking on the PBS Newshour today.
