Twentysomething go for it. If I can do it cold turkey anyone can. I won't say that it's a piece of cake because it isn't. But if you are serious about quitting you can do it. Some of the reading I've done says that 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months are the points when most people fall off of the wagon.
I'll let you know in another couple of months but right now I am an ex-smoker.
Congratulations! You have the hard part out of the way...
Well you have the hard-work part out of the way -- but not the hard part. The hard part is to STAY smoke free. There will be MANY temptations -- they don't stop at any special time period.
For me, after over 15 years, I still would like to have "Just one". But I know where "just one" will lead...
