I was able to quit smoking 2.5 years ago after numerous attempts. I smoked roughly a pack a day for about six years until I gradually (very gradually) cut back to about 5 cigarettes a day. My turning point was when I suffered from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 23, which resulted in surgery. Dropped cigarettes from my life the day before the surgery.
I have only smoked several occasional cigars since.
I honestly thought I'd never quit.
