Robert Plante hopes to inspire others to quit smoking on November 15, the date of the Great American Smokeout. After smoking for more than 50 years, he hasn’t smoked a cigarette since October 29, 2017. “I don’t miss it at all,” says the 71-year-old, who started smoking at age 18.
Plante was advised to quit smoking by his Dartmouth-Hitchcock (D-H) orthopaedic surgeon Marcus Coe, MD, MS. “Robert needed a hip replacement because he had severe arthritis in his left hip,” says Coe. “But in order to reduce his surgery risks, I told him he had to quit smoking. It’s hard for folks to quit, so it’s a huge testament to his resolve that he was able to do it.”

Really it took a whole year to start feeling better? I guess 30 years is a really long time your lungs must have been in rough shape.

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "most successful way to quit smoking" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Mackorny Smoking Escape Blueprint - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got excellent success with it.

I am on the 5th day of my quit. Early days, but I have already noticed some positive consequences. I am 58 and had been smoking since I was 15. My respitory system was beginning to tell me that I had come to the end of the road with cigarettes. I had suffered a bronchial chest infection in early June which left me fighting for my breath for 48 hours. The antibiotics returned my breathing back to normal eventually. But as a long time heavy smoker I know that something like emphysema might be just over the horizon. Incurable and agonising condition. Terrifying thought.

Congratulations sir. 11 months ago I quit smoking because, when I needed to wear the mask , the stink after the cigarette was unbearable. Then I also realized that some 25 years of smoking is enough and even though my health is good I want to lower chances of some bad diseases anyway. Whole quarantine situation actually helped me a lot, because bars and clubs are closed and social interaction mixed with alcohol makes thing harder. The reasons why quitting smoking is very important like motivation - Just keep telling yourself that being healthy, in good condition, without any addiction, and with more money in your pocket are stronger reasons than being stinky yellow nails and teeth junkie, spending daily lots of money on poison. Hope everyone will be able to find a way to get rid of that bad habit. Just believe that you can. Greetings from Eastern Europe.

My father quit at 65, cold turkey, after 50 years smoking at least 2 packs a day. One day he had to go to urgent care at the local hospital due to short breath. When the family saw him with a oxigen mask, he sudendly started to cry like a baby with shame... After 13 years he is rockin and rolling.

Skin was so soft, black bags under my eyes were gone, my breathing improved, my brain even worked better, which improved my memory and vocabulary. But unfortuanately, I have copd and sleep apnea. And occasional weed on a daily. Tomorro is my quit day and I’m guna fight for all I got to d t!!

I quit smoking 15 months ago. Have no craving and feel great. I would say, the first two weeks were the hardest. In the beginning, I used to see myself smoking in my dreams, but then it stopped. Pro tip: the quitting must be casual, don't make a ritual out of it.

I tried to get free patches from the State of Ohio quit smoking program and they sent me a couple of expired coupons; seriously, it was just pathetic and our tax dollars pay these states for helping people to quit smoking, it is outrageous.
