Please List One Thing you like about Smoke FREE!

[Thomas3.20.2010]

Let's make a very long list for Folks to draw on!

I'll start with My Number One:

(1) Protecting my Grandchildren from Second and Third Hand Smoke.

Hop On....

[Jennifer-Quit]

Not missing out on life because I smoke. Such as not going places or doing things because I could not smoke there. 

[TW517]

2) No more sneaking out to smoke 

[freeneasy]

Peace of mind knowing that I'm no longer paying to give myself a smoking-related disease.

[MarilynH]

I don't miss inhaling on a smoke and then coughing so hard that my chest hurt and my eyes filled with tears!

[Tabbiekat]

My hair still smells nice (like my shampoo) at the end of the day

[Deb-EX]

When I kiss my son good night and he doesn't push me away because I stink! 

[Strudel]

Living in the moment! 

[Thomas3.20.2010]

My Son quit 4 Months after I did - for Life!

[dwwms]

Not having to check my wallet to see if I have enough money to buy a pack!

(and yeah, there's plenty others!)

[YoungAtHeart]

Not feeling like a leper  because I don't just stop this "bad habit."

[kristen-9-7-15]

I don’t have to hide my smoking. There’s nothing to hide anymore!

[RachelMB]

I am not missing moments with my family because I am hiding somewhere smoking!

Rachel 

[JonesCarpeDiem]

I'm glad I saw through it and don't need do it.

[Giulia]

List ONLY ONE????  That's tough.  

Not being a slave to an addictive behavior that costs me money and health.

[JACKIE1-25-15]

Gosh Thomas3.20.2010‌ It is very hard keeping it on one thing, but I will try.  No more shame of smoking. 

[elvan]

Meeting Ellen and getting reacquainted with her...I lost her when I started to smoke.

[Mandolinrain]

Everything said above PLUS......Not being concerned that my car is going to catch fire because I thew a cigg out the window and it blew back into the backseat!

[Deb-EX]

LOL    

[Sootie]

Recognizing smoking was a BOTHER....not a joy.  No longer needing to find a place, make sure you had cigs, make sure you had a lighter.........just the whole BOTHER of it.

[KMC56]

EVERYTHING smelling fresh and clean!

[Bree19]

I can smell flowers again!  

[Michaelle]

Not being controlled by this habit. 

[Mortalzeus]

I don't cough up mucus or phlegm of various colors anymore!

[susan_m]

I don't stink!

[Deb-EX]

Agreed!!! OMG, the freaking missing lighters...yes, it was exactly that, a BOTHER!

[susan_m]

Haha, yes!  I always kept one "hidden" just in case. Did you ever light a cigarette on one of the old coils of a stove when you couldn't find a lighter? The struggle was real!

[JACKIE1-25-15]

How about the toaster.  God forbid.

[Roller831]

The one thing I like best about not smoking is that there are a tons of things that are great about not smoking!  

[linda258]

I don't fear how long a flight or car trip is going to be or if a hotel has smoking rooms. I can enjoy travel. I can enjoy life!

[Deb-EX]

SO TRUE!!! 🙂

[Anya]

The absolutely delicious relaxing and energizing feeling of taking a long deep breath.

[Deb-EX]

OMG, I am LAUGHING Susan!!!! Oh yes - yes yes yes I HAVE!!! You are correct, the struggle was VERY real. And the moment you lost your "hidden" lighter .. yea, that never ended well either!! LOL LOL

[Deb-EX]

Yes, I have used a TOASTER.. LMAO!!!!!

[superbec1]

Love that I can go out to lunch with work friends instead of smoking alone in my car

[Iamkfaz]

My 3 month old grand daughter Julia, breathing, freedom and no more coughing.....it goes on and on and on!!!

[Kpnbo]

Laughing so hard about the lighting the cigarette on the stove!  Don’t know how many times I did that!  So grateful not to be a part of another addiction. 20 years clean and sober. 142 days smoke free. 

[YoungAtHeart]

And did anyone singe their eyelashes trying to get a cigarette lit on a gas stove?  It's a wonder I didn't set MYSELF on fire!!!

😉

[cpsono]

Not freezing my a$$ off to go outside and smoke during Pennsylvania winters! And yes, Nancy, have singed my eyebrows and also my bangs!

[Sandy-9-17-17]

The one thing I love the most about being smoke free, is that I am finally in control of my life! The pretty much wraps everything up into a one liner!  It no longer controls me!  

[Giulia]

Yes, but the real challenging one is rubbing two sticks together in front of your face with a cigarette in mouth waiting for the tinder to catch!  lol

[Deb-EX]

Of course!!! Singe eyelashes, eyebrows, bangs.. You name it I singed it!! LOL LOL

[Beth86]

This goes with the not stinking... but actually putting on perfume and smelling the perfume instead of Smokey perfume.... and all of the above. 

[Anya]

Smoking takes up so much time, that  is better used for a million other things! 

[PuffnstuffAlexander53]

The feeling of being able to take long deep breaths. Wowww! Been so long I had forgotten what that was like

[IrishRose]

As a smoker, I always woke up with this deep bronchial cough.  The cough is gone, completely gone; I do not cough anymore at all. 

Irish Rose

[elvan]

I very rarely cough any more and when I do, it does not sound anything like that gurgly smoker's cough that can be recognized from a long ways away.

[bonniebee]

So many things hard to list just one ! I  love the  freedom of not ever needing a cigarette anymore !

[gottastop2]

I love not standing outside in the freezing cold or rain just to feed my habit 

[YoungAtHeart]

With bad weather in the forecast, not having to worry about running out!

[Anya]

My skin feels smoother. My hair stays fresh so much longer. My eyes may actually look brighter!

OK, that's 3 things, but they all are related:)
