I have never smoked a single thing in my life. No jokes now!!!! But my mother smoked since she was a teenager. She finally quit after I graduated college and has not smoked since, 10-12 years. I know if she can do it that any one can. She really enjoyed it but unfortunately did not think about the consequence to her family. I think with all the other health problems she has gone through she might not have recovered as well if she still smoked. Good luck to all that are trying. I think it will be well worth it if you quit.
