Yep. I was 41 when my third child was born. Realized that I've got a long way to go to the finish line and I need to be healthy for them. That was all the motivation I needed.
Sometimes, when I was really stressed or had a big craving, I'd "puff" on an unlit cigarette. About a year after I'd quit I was at a party and was doing that when someone lit it, so I took a drag. That's all it took. Hacking and coughing. 2/10. WNB.
This method seems more up my alley.
A few years ago, just west of Cleveland, I drove by a Burger King that was advertising one thing.
Good luck dude. I smoked some butts when I was a newbie in the USAF 40 years ago and I thank the lord that I hated them. I didn't really have to quit so much as just stop wasting my money on something that was grossing me out. Now, if I would have laid off the Panama Red all those years my lungs probably wouldn't be a bit crappy, but...........................
Don't know if it useful, but I will tell you that the only folks I know that quit sucessfully did it cold turkey. I know a bunch of folks that tried patches, nicotine gum, hypnosis etc and the ones that just said "fuck it" and stopped, dealt with the withdrawals for a week or so and forced themselves to stick with are the ones that succeeded. I hope you can do it

I'm fucking addicted to the gum now.
My mother quit smoking from strokes
Stick with that, the gum addiction will eventually overcome the smoking addiction....because the gum is more addictive.
