Stop Smoking - Improve your Health and Air Quality

Smoking cigarettes or cigars is harmful to your health and a major factor in air pollution. Second hand smoke is dangerous to others and the environment.

I was born in 1951 and smoking was a common occurrence among most adults. My mother and dad both smoked and I started when I was 13 and didn't think smoking was a big deal.

It seemed like everyone smoked. The preacher and deacons in the church we attended smoked. As far as I can remember, smoking was acceptable and encouraged. I remember cigarette advertising being a major part of television viewing. The Marlboro man was the hero, cancer seemed to be rare or at least I don't remember hearing about cancer.

I Quit Smoking!

I know this is a tall order and it might not be easy to stop smoking but it is possible. However, it is possible.

I smoked for forty years. I didn't think I would ever stop smoking. I had resolved to smoke until I died. Today and for the last several years I have not smoked a cigarette. To me it is a miracle and I am so thankful I don't have to light up.

How did I quit? I am not really sure how I stopped smoking. To be perfectly honest, one day I said I had enough. I hated the smell. I hated blowing smoke out of my mouth and nose and I just stopped. I believe faith helped. I don't even want a cigarette. I can't believe I smoked for so many years. But today I am free and I care about the environment.
