Its like being finally freed from a cage. I am no longer hooked on cigarettes and feel that I have complete control of my life. Whenever I see others smoking, it boosts my confidence to think that I have the power and ability that many others don't. The only good thing that I got from all these years of smoking is this great feeling of victory I get 
when I finally quit.
- Laura Miles

So far quitting smoking has saved me over $2,362 for the last 8 months. I no longer have morning colds and coughs. And I really find a tremendous improvement in my stamina. 
- Jimmy Marrielle

The best thing that quitting smoking has done for me is to give me a complete self-esteem boost. I 
feel more accepted by others around me and now. People are starting to show that they actually like me to be around. I feel better each day, not just 
my health, but my confidence just keeps growing each day. To other smokers who are thinking 
about quitting, just do it! Life as a non-smoker is just too good to miss out on. 
- Sally Estevez

I know that I have to quit sooner or later, its just a matter of how long I can enjoy life without starting to get sick. I quit smoking 2 years ago and now, I feel better than I was 10 years back! I can feel my health improving each day. I just love it!
- Mindy

To be an non-smoker means breaking free. I used 
to be a slave to cigarettes and they controlled my life. Now, I enjoy fresh breath, more money, dating non-smokers, a cleaner home and no more stale smell in my car. I look forward to my new life and my kids will no longer have to breathe in second hand smoke.
- Candy Miller

Quitting smoking meant complete freedom for me. No more stopping what I am doing to smoke. No more standing out in the cold on my break to smoke. No more excusing myself from the crowd 
to secretly take a puff. I have complete control of myself. I can go anywhere I want without worry no more. It feels really good to be free.
- Sandra Young

Being a non-smoker means everything to me! I feel healthier than I have ever been in a long time. Knowing that I control my life now is great! I no longer have the smoker's smell lingering around me. I no longer need breaks outside workplace. 
I've finally broken that bond to cigarettes. Its just great!
- Michael Kavolski

I can now eat at indoor places without irritating others. I can go on shopping for hours without needing to stop for cigarettes. Cleaner home, no stale smells, no yellow fingers, no smelly 
wardrobe, no more worrying about not having cigarettes, no more worrying about letting the 
boss know.... I really didn't know what I missed 
out on until I quit smoking. 
- Sally Kent

Its not true that smoking always made me blend in. Smoking is a terrible habit that made me the odd-one-out lots of times. Now I can mingle with 
all types of people without worrying that I'll offend anyone. For me, the rewards of quitting smoking are just wonderful.
- Callie Christian

It's amazing how much time I have for other things now. Not to mention the money I've saved. My advice to all smokers, BE DETERMINED! It takes time, and with time it gets easier. Once its done, you deserve all the credit for the effort. That is priceless.
- Anne Walsh

You only realize how precious life is until its about to be taken away from you. That was how I felt when I was diagnosed with cancer. Smoking isn't worth the pain I am suffering now. Still, I am grateful that I will spend the rest of my days free from smoking. 
- Marlene K.

Quitting smoking saved my life and my children's because now I know I can provide for them and see them grow up.

I wake up in the morning without the irritating cough I used to have. Even when I get a cold nowadays, it doesn't last as long as before. I 
breathe better and feel great. 
- Kenny Singam

Now that I've quit smoking, I realized that I smelt bad as a smoker. That's also because my sense of smell has improved. I'm no longer wasting others' time by making them wait while I go smoke. I 
don't have to worry about the rise in cigarettes' prices. I don't have to run out late at night to buy cigarettes. I can brag I don't smoke. And I can be totally proud of myself.
- Arry Ka

No one believed me when I told them. But when they finally realized that I'm smoke-free, I sense a newfound respect from everyone. When I refuse cigarettes from smokers, they never fail to ask 
"How on earth did you do it??!" Its just great.
- Bonnie

I feel more alive now. I am tasting food for the first time, I can smell the flowers again. I have more energy every day.

I used to smoke 2 packs a day for over 30-years. 
Its been 2 great years since chose to quit smoking. When you choose to quit smoking, you are the 
one in control. It is wonderful.

My asthma improved and now I don't need to use my inhaler anymore. I've saved lots of money, almost $600 in 104 days. I used the money to buy 
a scooter!

I can breathe through my nose again. People don't run out of the room or pinch their noses anymore like they did before. I have regained control of my life and given myself a better chance to live a longer, healthier life.

I no longer feel left out. And I feel accepted by the people around me.

I love being a non-smoker. I feel calmer and more alive! The best part is I will never need to miss panicking or turning moody like before when I 
used to run out of cigarettes.

3 months down the road and I no longer have phlegm, cough or that morning flu. I feel great 
and my confidence level is climbing each day. 
I've never felt like this throughout the 12 years of smoking.

I gave quit smoking a shot 6 years back and I amazingly succeeded. I can't imagine how would I remain in the healthy state I am if I didn't!

I took one look at a picture of diseased lung and decided to give up smoking immediately. I don't know how anyone can live knowing that his or her lung looks like smoked beef. 
- Victoria

Last summer, my mum was diagnosed with 
Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and now she 
has to breathe from an oxygen tank. I think God 
has a way of setting an example for all of us. It really hurts all of us to see her like that, but it felt even worse to think that we too will end up that way. I feel much secure with my life now that I 
have quit smoking. I am now helping my sister 
and dad go through the process. 
- Daniel K

I am officially a non-smoker for the past 9 months and I never thought about smoking once ever 
since. It wasn't as hard as I though it would be. I 
feel good and have piece of mind that saved 
myself from becoming a smoker-death statistic!
- Nicolette Bridges

Now that I have quit smoking, I make myself an example for others to quit. It feels really great to help others quit smoking, especially when you 
are their role model! My self esteem is at its peak and I feel good about myself and my life. So far, I have already helped 3 persons quit smoking and I plan to help another 2 more friends by the end of the year!  
- Gary Jones

Its strange that I don't feel like smoking at all anymore, because its too good to miss out being a non-smoker. I have no more limitations and restrictions anymore. I feel completely free.

I felt a surge of energy from the first day of 
quitting smoking. I feel fresher and more 
energetic each day and I can do a pile of work 
in less time than before.
- Andrew Robert

I don't ever need to think "When can I go for a smoke?" anymore. I am more focused at work 
and everything else I do. I can concentrate on 
what people say to me and can have peaceful 
sleep without worrying about running out of cigarettes.
