Last night, my 4 year old asked me to stop smoking. I said yes, and she stuck out her pinky. We locked fingers, and I promised her that I'd quit today.
When she pinky swears that she'll be good, I hold her to it.
She totally turned the tables on me, and I'm gonna use that as my extra motivation.
Great motivation for sure.

If I could offer a little insight it would be that you cannot quit smoking unless it is for YOU. It's all in the mind. I tried Champix and Zantac?? before and quit but always went back. I quit for good about 18 months ago and simply smoked my last smoke and made up my mind that I was done. I know now that I can never smoke tobacco of any kind because I might start again.

My kids would see me in a whole new light (bad) if I ever started again.
