[QUOTE="June_C, post: 1047831, member: 160690"] I found 'What's in it for me' was the incentive to give up. I had a new grand-daughter in August last year and was told that I couldn't cuddle her if I'd had a ciggie within the last 30 minutes. Bit harsh I thought, but then I did understand, my son and DIL not wanting her inhaling smoke fumes from my clothes. That was the incentive I needed. No amount of health warnings, price rises and the fact that I was now doubling my chances of heart disease after being diagnosed with diabetes put me off. My new grand child did it in want foul swoop. I'm now a happy ex-smoker of 5 months, can smell a smoker before I see them (hate the smell) and at last, after so many years, I and my home no longer smell like an ashtray. :) It can be one hell of a battle, but it's worth it. :) [/QUOTE]
