I started smoking when I was about 15 I think. I tried to quit during high-school but my throat reacted quite badly and left me coffing for 5 months. After 5 months I started smoking again and the coff disappeared. Quit again august 1.5 years ago and everything was good until I went to Croatia for work... cheap cigarettes and a lot of my friends were smoking. Quit again last august and been good since then.
My last quiting strategy worked best. For all the money I saved from quiting cigarattes I spent the money on beer, nice dinners and fun stuff About 30Euros a week. Suddenly it made no sense wasting money on cigarettes.
I still smoke when I drink larger amounts, but I don't feel any addiction anymore
