In reply to the discussion: What happens when a smoker quits [View all]ejpoeta
(8,933 posts)76. my husband quit about 5 years ago. i quit when i was pregnant with my oldest
who is 14. For my husband the difference for me is he is calmer.... he isn't constantly chewing his fingers and fingernails and tapping his feet. He smoked like 3 packs a day. It took him a long time to quit. I am so glad we are free of that stuff. And we have more money.... We bought a camper, we go camping and do more things together.... we paid off things... It's amazing how much money we wasted on cigarettes.
