My Whys for starting are not uncommon. Although to date (Sun., 20 Oct. 2019), there remains one for which I still self-castigate. This one I'll need to keep an eye on and keep under subjection for the rest of my life.

When I was maybe 30-something, my Dad started asking me when I was going to Quit. The response was always, 'When you do.' We both knew we were wrong. Still, we never took it seriously enough. When he finally stopped it was because his declining health dictated he stop. When I finally stopped it was because I acknowledged it was ridiculous of me to continue.
The Hows of my starting to smoke, again, were not uncommon. Afterall, who's cooler than a cigarette-wielding teenager? A non-smoking teenager! That's who! Too bad I didn't have enough sense to know that then.
How I Quit? Cold Turkey. And I mean -- that poor bird shivered off its feathers every. single. silly. time. I. relapsed. and. reQuit. Ultimately, this Quit was/is about taking back, keeping, and building my power.
