What made you stop smoking? -

im doing a assignment for collage and i need to no what makes people stop smoking so please answerI reached the filter.I-d smoked on and off since I was in my late teens. I was never a particularly heavy smoker - very much a social smoker (or anti-social, depending on your point of view!)

At the grand old age of 41 I got ill (nothing to do with the smoking) and I spent 10 days going in and out of hospital. It was the wake up call I needed. The whole experience was hideous. Being in that place with all those sick people was just awful! It made me realise that if I carried on smoking, I was hugely increasing my chances of becoming one of -those sick people-.

I stopped then and there and haven-t had another cigarette since (that was two years ago).1st i had my tonsils out due to recurrent sore throat etc... then i had a growth appear on my throat and glands . i smoked for 30 years!

it took a death call to wake me up totally , i tried many times previous to this for my son , so i would still be here when he grew upseveral reasons-

Money
Health (asthmatic)
The house - family stank of smoke
It was becoming increasingly antisocialFor a certain percentage of people the reason why they stopped was death.
