I quit smoking cold turkey and it was easy...

Back when I quit I had a whole bunch of physical reactions. Like bloating! ugh... I took every supplement under the sun to combat that, it finally went away. I also got a flare up of arthritis, it sucked but that got better in time too. All normal stuff. For me a couple of things happened. First of all I just couldn't imagine why anyone would want to poison themselves anymore, including myself. I read a lot of really disgusting information about cigarettes and really took some time to think about what it was doing to my hair, skin, lungs... how I smelled, the cost. I developed a real hatred of the habit. The final straw was reading an article about how nobody smokes anymore. I felt like a fool. I gave them up and never looked back.
