So I was a smoker for the last 13 years. Maybe 10 years of smoking 10-15 per day. I am currently in the process of quitting and I have made it 15 days without smoking an entire cigarette. I was wondering and this is for anyone who has quit smoking, when do you know that you have officially quit?? Is there a certain time frame?? 2 months?? 1 year??

Im assuming it varies for different people. I mean, when I was 22 years old, I went 7 weeks and thought I had quit, but New Years Eve party got me smoking a couple and before the night was over I bought a pack and was back on the wagon.

I know I have a lot more work to do to fully quit, but to be honest, I lit one up last night, had 2 drags and ashed it. I didn't like it very much. I think I have officially quit, but I'm not sure.

Any others with stories??
