As of today, I have now stopped smoking for 9 years.

That translates into 82,172 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $27,322.34.


Calculated at 5 minutes per cigarette I have increased my life expectancy by 9 months, 1 week, 5 days, 7 hours, 42 minutes, 14 seconds.

(There are 4 additional leap year days in the calc that I did not include....too complicated )

Congrats! 12 years for me!

20 years for me - its insane how expensive they are now. And how many people i still see smoking outside the cancer center i service

Will be 4 for me on 8-31. gave up the Beer at the same time
I took the easy way, 4.5 weeks in an induced coma followed by 3.5 weeks of rehab, what better time to quit,

First off, congratulations on not only doing it but sticking with it. It is a constant mental battle to stay off the weed. I enjoyed smoking, if I could I'd be smoking right now. Quit in '96 following a heart attack. My cardiologist at the time looked at me in my hospital bed and said the immortal words that changed my life:

"If you continue to smoke, you are going to die."

And the rest is history.

I quit on January 7, 1985.

I quit in college. Couldn't afford it and my girlfriend hated it, soo...

Congratulations to all of you!

One of the best decisions you have every made.

I have never smoked but I know that quitting smoking can be very hard and I admire you for it.

congratulations to all that have quit ! my wife and i quit in 1985. it wasn't much of a deal for me, but my wife had a devil of a time.
the only problem is, what did we do with all the money we saved ?

Congratulations to all of you that have kicked that nasty life killing habit. Keep at it!

I have a pretty good idea where most of it went

Congrats on that. Thankfully I never smoked.

Congrats. My 19th anniversary of quitting was last week.

Tobacco free for 3 years this month, no regrets! Good 4 you!

I quit sometime in the mid 70s. I discovered way back then I could buy more Mopar race car parts with the money I was spending on smoking. Pretty much quit drinking booze at the same time, for the same reason. (That and it wasn't as much fun once I was legal age!)
I was doing a pack of smokes a day until I spent 4 days in the hospital for an unrelated reason. When I got out of the hospital I figured I had most of the habit kicked. There were still trying times, but I succeeded. The memories of racing provide more fondness then anything smoking or drinking related did. Gene

I've "quit" on and off since the early 90's but always caved to the temptation. In the fall of '17 I quit and have not even had the urge since.

Congrats Rich!

Uncle Tony still smokes.

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.

Never smoked, but glad you quit.
