Many smokers don't know (Face?) that smoking weakens the heart muscle, makes it wear out faster in many people. My dad smoked 4 packs a day and quit at 55, lived to his 80's. Know too many smokers to count that didn't make it out of their 50's. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Thanks for making my night! I don't smoke (why would anyone born after 1964 or so start?) but don't see myself getting past 70 at best. Now I wonder if I will make 60! The President is a fink. |

How did he do it? I know so few people to have successfully quit smoking. My father smoked a pipe maybe once a day when I was a kid and he quit, but I wouldn't have called him a heavy smoker by any means. Then again, he still had a heart attack and later died at 76.

I think a good way would be to take several thousand dollars and make the smoker burn it up. Woman worked next to me was dropping $400 a month for smokes for her and her daughter. That's five grand a year! Almost half again my car payment! She had that smoker voice that older women get. Nice woman, but but in 10-15 years what she burned up could have bought the house she lived in. The President is a fink. |

Believe it or not, in 1969 he went cold turkey and just quit. After 35 years of 4 packs a day, you never saw him without a cig in his mouth. He put two packs in his lunch pail and smoked them at work. $2.99 a carton in those days. He never went back to it and quitting never bothered him. It's a mystery. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think he just threw all the smoking stuff away and we lived so far from a store, it was too much work to drive there when he had a craving. Eventually they just went away. I actually had no trouble quitting 35 years ago. I smoked a pack a day for 10 years. One day I just said, I'm done. I took smoking off my options list, and never looked back. I told myself it was poison, and I don't do poison willingly. Never had one since and no urges. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
