DH smoked from before I met him at 16 to age 29 when we had our first child. He quit repeatedly, and always started smoking again.
Our baby was 5 months old when we traveled to see DHs parents. I was so busy with traveling with a baby and dealing with in-laws that I didn't notice that DH wasn't smoking. We had been there a few days when he announced it, which was tough because DHs Dad was a smoker and we were staying with them.
I didn't think he would quit forever because he quit all the time and always went back to it. But this was the one that took. He never smoked again.
This was in 1984 before patches, lozenges or e-cigs. It was THE BEST THING he could have done.
The hand reaching into the shirt pocket thing took a loooong time to go away.
Dec. 20th, 2014 will be 30 years since he quit. What an accomplishment.
Good luck to the OP.
