I quit smoking so many years ago ... I started as a teenager. My parents always smoked and I married a smoker so I was always around the smell of cigarettes. After I quit in my late 20's - and I was also divorced by then - I noticed that my home smelled so much nicer when nobody smoked. I realized that my own clothes and hair, even my skin, lost the smell of cigarettes, and I began to HATE the smell.
Once I'd reached that point it was easy to quit, even though I was around friends and relatives who smoked. Nowadays it's even easier because restaurants, stores, shopping malls, even offices no longer allow smoking indoors. You don't have to be tempted by other people smoking in front of you.
Best of luck Debm!
