[QUOTE="witzend, post: 186859, member: 99"] I had my first when I was 7 :eek: and started sneaking when I was 12. I out and out smoked by the time I was 14. I quit when I was 31 after trying many times. I quit because I got a blood clot on my lung (yes I [i]do[/i] mean I got a pulmonary edema) and I couldn't breathe, let alone inhale a cigarette. By the time I had recovered a month or so later, I was past withdrawals. I had tried many times, and went nearly insane. When I finally did quit, I still got edgy, so I used the patch and xanax. Nowadays I would probably go with Wellbutrin instead. Do whatever you have to. But if you are going to smoke, you need to not hide it. Hiding it makes it much harder to stop when you are ready because it's already something you're hiding and pretending isn't for real, and something you don't really do is pretty hard to quit. Suz, I thought I had posted this in Watercooler. You can move it if it needs to be moved. [/QUOTE]
