Find alt.quit-smoking (believe that's the name of the usenet group). Great group of people who have lots of good advice.<p>After that, get rid of the smokes and take it one day, one minute or one second at a time depending on what works for you. And remember, even if you light up now, you'll want another smoke in another 20 minutes or so. So why bother lighting up in the first place? In a couple of months you'll have far fewer urges and in a year or so they'll be gone completely. I've been smoke free for 3 1/2 years and I can tell you it's worth it. I smoked for over twenty years before I quit so I know it's not easy. I quit before my husband did and found that kissing him was more like kissing an ashtray. Yuck. Do your wife and child a favor and ditch that habit.

Scott,<p>As you know there are many quit smoking programs. Personally I don't think any of them are worth anything unless the person has the initial serious intent to quit. I started smoking when I was 15. When I turned 19 I joined the Air Force. That was in 1974. I knew I was not in shape and did not want to go into basic training unprepared. So started running and exercising about 6 months before I actually went in. At the time it was also a way out of my mom's house and finally making a decision to do something constructive with my life. I was dead serious about it. I knew I had to get into some minimum level of physical shape, and I knew smoking was a roadblock to that. So, at 19, I simply quit. And I never started again. I did it because I wanted somethng else worse than I wanted to smoke. I think that will work for anyone if they get to that point.
