[QUOTE="donna723, post: 178275, member: 1883"] I'm with ya, Janet! I started smoking at 19 when I was in college because everybody else did! Real smart move, but everybody smoked back then. I've smoked two packs a day ever since and I'm 62 now ... so do the math! I quit once for several months, and then I too thought that "Just one won't hurt" and in a few days I was right back in to it. I'm going to be retiring in a few years and things will be really tight. I keep thinking how much it will help then to have all that money that I spend on cigarettes now. The worst part of it is that both of my kids smoke too. Of course they might have anyway whether I (and their father) did or not, but I do feel guilty about it. But my daughter and sister in law recently both managed to quit! I don't know when sister in law started but my daughter started sneaking cigarettes when she was 11 or 12 and she's 32 now so that's a lot! It was costing them a ton of money. And she's recently started seeing a fertility specialist who also recommended that she quit. They've been "trying" to have a baby for three years now. And besides the health factor, most of the expensive fertility treatments are not covered by their insurance, so that money they were spending on cigarettes can be put to very good use!
