My daughter, boyfriend, and I all decided 3 months ago to quit smoking and it was the best thing we could have done. I feel so much better, I’m saving a lot of money, and I smell so much better now. I can taste what I am eating now!

Last 4th of July my friend and I wrote up a contract. It stated that who ever smokes first in one year will have to pay the other $1000! Well we have both been non-smokers to this day. I will never smoke again, I feel so much healthier. (And it makes my Mom happy!)
