new to quitting

[crazy_cat_lady333]

Hi all, I am new here and am finally ready to quit smoking cigs. I'm 44, and been smoking since I was 15! Just looking for some support and advice . I am a very hard core smoker , have only quit twice in all those years, when I was pregnant and that's it. I have not even set a quit date but know I need to very soon. I am tired of coughing and wheezing every day! I recently have been sick w a cold I got from my kids and now it's lingering on 14+ days of prolonged hacking , this is ridiculous I can be so sick and for so long and still smoke through it! I have cut back a lot due to this but still haven't quit entirely . but this has really opened my eyes to the absolute need to quit!!

How heavily did you smoke?

Welcome to the community.  If you type "nicotine' in the search box you will find a "Nicotine Addiction Community"  They may have more information specific to smoking.

Good luck with quitting the cigs.
