Think through it ahead of time. Life continues to happen while you are vulnerable and those cigarettes seem so inviting. Have a strategy ready to implement when that crisis happens. And no, you can not have just one and then put them down again. That does not work.

My last attempt to quit was in January of '75. I still occasionally dream about smoking.
