I have friends who have tried to quite many times.

Some who have quit for years, but then gone back.

I know folks who've tried the patch, Nicorette, vape and even hypnotism.

I smoked from about 8 or 9 until 32, when my wife and I decided we wanted to have kids.

We both quit, cold turkey.

About 20 years later I was offered a cigarette. I enjoyed it.

I now smoke about two packs a year... and really do enjoy it. But have no desire to become a smoker again.

This makes my friends who smoke nuts.

I'm not sure it is solely a matter of willpower, as I am not able to quite drinking.

I don't drink excessively and have stopped for months and even years at a time.

But I can't quit.

Best of luck to you. Its hard to give up anything you enjoy.
