Quit Smoking

Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Having been a smoker for 25+ years, it was very difficult. I used the nicotine gum. It worked very well for me. I've been cigarette free for about five months now. I just find other things to do when i am bored and think of smoking. It still crosses my mind when I am around smokers, but I know that smoking was causing a lot of the health problems that I currently have. I am pretty young to have heart disease, but it happened. There are some health care professionals that do smoke. For me, it was a sense of denial or " it won't happen to me". In my case, it did happen. But, I have many friends that still smoke and that is their right. To each his own, I guess.
