"I’ve been rewarding myself with the cigarette money I no longer use!"

Angie U.

"I know how hard the road is to quit. I gave myself a goal and a reason. That’s what made me successful."

Clinton E.

"The Quit Line is a great place to start and end up a non-smoker. Do it for your kids and grandkids!"

Tina B.

"After a week, nicotine leaves your body. After that it’s the “going through the motions” like the first time of not smoking in your car, after a meal, morning coffee, etc. That was the toughest part. I’m going on 2 years now – after smoking for 40."
