Hmmm. Do you mean that just because I'm 41 I have to be considered "old"?!? :quest: Well, as one who still feels fairly young ... I think that the younger we are the more invincible we believe we are. Also, when you are younger you tend to think you have plenty of time to quit before it damages your health. That's part of the lies of the nicodemon. BUT - I think when someone is determined to quit, it doesn't matter how old they are. Success can be achieved at any age.

I think you got something there Phil. I think as we get older we get more concerned about our health. Younger people still have that invinceable (sp) thing going, and they feel they have lots of time. I think as we age and lose a few friends and family members, the fragility of life starts knocking at the door telling us to wake up! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 81 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,025 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $854.55 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 9 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

There's more peer pressure when you are younger perhaps. My two children both stopped in their 20's (I didn't realise they were smoking from the young age they were!) and I really took my hat off to them because I knew they were mixing with lots of friends and associates who smoked a lot. Then as you say, when you are older you do have more awareness of the damage smoking can do but I'm amazed at, with the cost of cigarettes, the amount young people can afford to spend on the habit. As to the contributions to this site I feel it is not the age that dictates wisdom but the mindset.

Phil, i have to agree with Pat on this, I feel it is not the age of the person, but why they want to quit and how committed they are see ya mexx [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/24/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 213 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,195 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �852.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 24 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

Phil, I hadn't actually noticed or thought of quitting in terms of age and success rate. Personally, I've known lots of young quitters who've been very sucessful at quitting and tons of middle aged quitters who relapse and lots of older smokers who won't even try though they say they want to. Maybe it's not the person's age that matters, it's the indivdual's reasons for wanting to quit. It will be intersting to see how people respond. :) Pat [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 117 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,680 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,638.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

I have noticed that with some noteable exceptions that the youngsters around here have the most difficulty stopping..... As I say some exceptions who shall be nameless but they bring some really mature thoughts to this site which never cease to amze me! By young I mean the under 35's (Thats young when you are approaching 64 like me). The question is why ?I suspect they have the attitude'It will never happen to me I will be OK' as I did at that age.As you approach the Golden Years one sees people around you suffering from the effects of smoking more and maybe that gives you the edge on stopping! Any views? me xx [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/8/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 290 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,380 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1,522.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 56 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34
