I used to smoke between one to one and a half packs of menthols a day. I quit cold turkey about 4 years ago. But there's a story about how I was able to do that. I went to lunch one day with a friend. We ate, talked, and smoked. Well about an hour later, I got deathly ill (food poisioning) and the last thing I had was a cigarette. So when I was sick, all I could taste was the cigarette. I haven't had one since, although I do still crave them once in a while. I just try to avoid other smokers (when they're smoking). I know that's going to be hard for you, but maybe your bf will quit with you! I'm trying to get my hubby to quit rubbing snuff (it's a West Virginia thing). I don't suggest quitting cold turkey. Like others here, try the patch or gum. Or what about hypnosis?

Re: Good for you! My husband quit a few years back at my urging. It's so much better now. *nt
