I did. Not because I wanted to, but had to.

Guy worked with was off on disability for a good part of the year, and I ran into him when he got back, asking what happened. He too smoked, and one day had a heart attack and nearly died. I don't recall now, triple or quadruple bypass. He told me the story. Now, I smoked and enjoyed by didn't enjoy it at the same time. Went to bed that night, sound asleep, woke up like someone was standing on my throat. Was like my throat closed up. I sat up, gasping for breath, my throat opened up, could breath, went back to sleep. Next night, exact same thing happened. Scared the crap out of me, so I quit smoking right then and there.

Now here's the funny part. A week later I was out cutting wood, and that night when got undressed to take a shower, had three ticks embedded in me. I still had that pack of smokes right where I left them when I quit a week before, so lit one up to put heat near the ticks to get them to back out, and it tasted lousy, but the dang cigarette kept going out because of that chemical treated paper they have now to make them go out if you're not puffing on them so don't burn the house down. So three ticks, and lousy tasting cigarette that was of no use either way.

Since that time, I have only had the urge to light one up twice I think, real bad, but I didn't. A while later, urge gone. My doctor told me that the most successful smoke quitters are the ones that quit cold turkey, but as someone else said, you have to want to.

Been a couple of years for me, so good luck. Lungs feel a ton better, and now my girlfriend and I are far more active at a lot of things that were slowing down, if you know what I mean. That alone should be reason to quit smoking.
