As tyomorrow is no smoking day I'm kicking this habit for good hopefully. My reason for quitting is the fact my father died last week and although he wasn't a smoker he succumbed to prostate and then bone cancer. The word cancer is the relevant bit, i don't want it and i don't want to leave my family before my time as he did.
It's still recent grief and it'll be hard but i reckon a longer life is worth it!
Wish me luck and hopefully I'll get to know some of you along the way!!!

Firstly I am really sorry about your recent loss, I am sure your dad would be very pleased that you have decided to give up smoking! I also lost my dad and one of the things I keep in my mind is how pleased he would be that I quit smoking and it tends to keep me on track! I'm sure you will find lots of support on here, I find just reading different posts helpful. Good luck and remember you can do it!
