What they said. Tried numerous times in the past but this time it feels different. Cold turkey from Jan 1st, missus still smoking, no real cravings... Like with most drugs, there comes a point when the bad outweighs the good to the point you don't want it any more. Fortunately it's not as physically hard to kick as heroin or what-have-you, but stopping made me ill for a good few weeks and I've read lots of other accounts which match mine - feeling really out of it, flu-like cold, burning eyes, sore chest... I guess you can't expect to inhale loads of crap for nigh on 20 years and not feel some side effects.
