I smoked quite a bit for quite a long time. I was able to quit because I am morally opposed to smoking while pregnant and I was able to stay quit by imaging myself saying to my kids "I'm sorry mommy is going to die of lung cancer, but I just couldn't control myself." I would never be able to forgive myself.
I will admit that I still on occasion want to smoke. I enjoyed it a great deal.
