answer:My husband smoked from his late teens to his mid twenties. He’s 41 now and hasn’t had a cigarette in 17 years. If you ask him, he says he just decided one New Year’s Eve that he was sick of it, and the cigarette he was holding at midnight was going to be his last one. And it was. It’s not quitting cold turkey, it’s just not having a desire to keep it up anymore. I think there’s a big psychological difference between “I want to quit smoking” and “I don’t feel like smoking”.
