Unfortunately, my dad picked the habit back up again when they got divorced, and he's been procrastinating the next quit for a while now.  I think I might have to bring Rexy over to his house for some nagging.

Well, this is interesting.  I posted this last night before getting to bed.  Then I was woken up by the phone, and it was dad informing me that he'd just gotten sick, started feeling some asthma (we both have that genetically) and he got pissed off with himself and just straight-up quit.  It's been a week now and he says it's totally over.  Smokes, ash-trays, all that is apparently gone and done with.  I had tears in my eyes - shit, I still do.  Amazing.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I too have been trying kick the terrible habit(unsuccesfully), it is the hardest to not light up in the car/truck. worst of all I know it doesn't do me any good in the riding performance department, although I have started a healthy diet.....hopefully that will counteract it a little.

Ford,one ride on a Maico and your perception of reality would become crystal clear and you would cleanse yourself of all your negative addictions.The clouds would part,the sun would shine and the mighty flying M would put a smile on your face. ;)

I know I am new to the forum and don't know you guys but "YOU QUITTER!"

Sorry.  :P

I was a smoker for 21 years and quit cold turkey in '92. I kept my routine (smoke breaks, etc.) and hung out with the smokers. I kept drinking and going to bars. This is what I learned.

1. Gums, patches, etc. did nothing for me.
2. When I dream, I am often smoking. Even now. Not a dream about smoking, just something I am doing while I'm doing whatever I am dreaming about.
3. The cravings NEVER go away. You just learn to manage it.
4. I only gained 10 pounds in the first month but lost it right away when i stopped eating pretzles and cigarette shapped foods as a substitute.
5. Guilt is what drove me. I felt (and still feel) that I will have failed if I smoke, even one cigarette. I don't accept failure well.

Keep up the fight. Know it is not going to change you much now but in your later years, you'll appreciate it.

I quit for 2 years 20 yrs ago but I'm starting to realize time is a big factor in it.Back then,it was no big deal.These days,it is.I think after so much time it becomes part of who you are.I'm still holding my own but won't actually call myself quit until I stop thinking about it every minute of every day.In hindsight,I should have went with some sort of cessation aid to ease the cravings but it is what it is I guess.

I was almost off the shit. Then we moved ::), but I still want to quit. And as soon as we get unpacked, and the shop picks up a little, I'll do it. I still have two boxes of lozenges, and am only smoking a pack a day now as opposed to two before Xmas. I'm already gettting tired of the cough in the morning. So it is on the way out, this time for good.
