A new year has just begun, new beginnings are possible in every area of your life. If you are sick of smoking, come and join us. Smoking makes you sick, and it WILL KILL you, sooner than later. Nicotine is a drug that is highly addicitive. Now is a great time to start.
Don't let cigarettes run your life anymore, throw them away and take your life back from them. If I can do it after smoking a pack a day for 37 years than you can do it too. Move forward and never look back! Open the door and come on in, and close it up behind you, non smokers live here and we can help you do it.

Great post, Lainey!  Lots of good incentive to give up smoking.  Wow...$13.00 a pack.  Unimaginable!  When I quit nearly 4 years ago, here on Ontario I was paying $8.25 a pack, and I smoked a pack of 25 a day.
So glad I don't smoke.  We recently had all the floors in our house redone, and if I was still smoking, I don't think we could have done that.
There are many good reasons to stop smoking!!!!
 
Cheers,

And if you quit now, think of all the extra money you'll have to spend on those you love for Christmas!
Cigarettes in Canada are now over $13.00 a pack, at one pack a day thats about $390.00 per month! In two months you have saved  $780.00. My reward this year is a trip to Honolulu in January.  All wonderful reasons to quit smoking right now - do it today!

Are you tired of being sick from smoking? Tired of being a slave to cigarettes? Tired of paying your hard earned wages for a drug that is trying to kill you? Tired of the addiction? Tired of the smell, the hassle, of having to go outside to smoke?
Well then you have come to the right place. There are alot of people here you have quit with the support of this group.
Step one is to go thru the program and follow it along, do all the exercises and join in the forum here. Read, read, read all that you can, new posts and old posts. There is a wealth of knowledge here, for example, Did you know that tobacco companies add chemicals to make you more addicted to cigarettes? Did you know that it is harder to quit smoking than to quit Heroine?
All you have to do it make up your mind, pick a date and stay smoke free. After the first three days the nicotine is out of your system, after that comes dealing with the physiological and habit part of the quit (our mental attachment to smoking). Smoking is an addiction,  a very strong addiction and knowing this will help you. If all of us here can quit it, so can you.
I smoked for over 37 years and I have been quit for over four years, check out my stats. I have saved over $17,000.00 by not smoking in that time. So if you want to quit, join us, the more members that are on here, the more support there is for each other. Now is a great time to quit because you won't have to go outside in the winter weather to smoke. You won't have the smell and the stinky ashtray to deal with anymore. Now is a great time to give yourself  freedom from addiction, to give yourself a new life, a chance to live longer, to see your kids grow up or your Grandkids grow up.
Now is a great time to join the Stop Smoking Center (SSC)! It is free, all it takes is some time and effort. Helping others helps you in your quit, so join in, there are folks from all over the world here, you just might meet a wonderful new friend.
Come and get quit with us! We welcome you!
