I will just tell my story..

I was driving along Queen street here in Saskatoon, I was about halfway through my cigarette and just decided it was gross and I was done. I threw it out the window and haven't smoked one since. That will be 5 years Feb. 17th. I smoked for about 9 years.. close to a pack a day.

I knew I had officially quit instantly because I just had absolutely no desire to smoke ever again. I think you know you have quit smoking when you get that feeling.

Just my experience..

Also that is true, you never truly quit smoking, you just stop smoking. If that makes sense.. even to this day I will crave one when I drive, if I don't chew gum or suck on a tic tac who knows what would happen..
