Just trying to see what people do!? Especially if you have quit, please share your success story.

Did you know that tobacco cessation can be used on the 2166-8-1 NCO counseling form?

I havent smoked since I met my wfie 14 years ago. She told me either the newports or her. She was to dam fine to let someone else have her. So i let her throw my last pack of newports out the car window and havent touched them since.

I have a similar story, except there's a poor girl still walking down I-20 in Alabama!

Kudos though for real, I've actually been 4 months without smoking

You can , lay them down and walk away. YOU can do it. It all starts in the mind, you have to want to quit. Let me know when you do!

SSgt Gregory Guina, You CAN do it. I have FULL faith in you.
First of all, look at the amount of self-discipline and perseverance it took for you to get promoted to Staff Sergeant. Look at the amount of self-discipline and perseverance it is taking you to maintain your rank.
Secondly: If I can- ANYBODY can. I smoked NON-STOP in the Army. I smoked NON-STOP; after I got out. I was as addicted as anyone could POSSIBLY be.
Don't keep procrastinating and making excuses. Just quit: RIGHT SMACK NOW. It is true: that there is no better time than the PRESENT.
The trick is to get and to be: High on life....without any crutches. You will feel so FREE.

I will smoke a cigar only at special occasions -- like once per year.  I have never consistently smoked, dipped, or otherwise used tobacco.

Same here. I selected "never" in the poll. The reality is something like "two cigars in my life to date."

The first was upon successful redeployment from Iraq.
The second was recent to celebrate some personal good news, and involved about half a bottle of Jameson.
I can see maybe getting all the way to 6 by the time I die. :-)

Same here. A nice celebratory Rocky Patel every once in a while couldn't hurt.
