The only problem was the fact it was so easy that it pi$$ed me off. If I only new how easy it was to quit I would have quit years ago.
+100
I smoked for 18yrs...pack to 2 packs if I was drinking. Never tried to quit cuz I was scairt I wouldnt be able too and then it'd be that more "ingrained" into me that I couldnt quit. FINALLY at the age of 34...my wife goes "We need to talk.." (oh crap..you know what that means guys!!) So we both quit.....
First week was bad...long walks, more long walks, anything to get my mind off of it. The main trick I had was I carried a squeezable ball around all day to keep my hands busy. (broke one and had to buy a 2nd one...I still have)
After that first week......easy money.....I was so ticked off at myself that I smoked all them years and I didnt have to. I was really mad at myself and can still get mad over it!!
As for the money??? fergitaboutit. with kids, house, cars, bikes....that gets absorbed so quickly its not as if you ever spent it on cigs.
Good luck really.......those things are nasty.....coffin-nails!!
