Thank you! Being quit is worth every single suffering moment to go through.

I'm sorry, are you saying that talking about nonsmoking role models is a little bit controversial and derisive? That would be like straight from the tobacco lobby playbook.

What's wrong with promoting cold turkey???

I didn't see anything wrong with your posts.  The white house must have needed allot of work to get rid of all that second hand smoke film.   It is also good to see a leader who doesn't smoke.  I am sure there are many leaders out there who do not smoke as well.   Cheers to your celebration for years and years of non-smoking.      

Please write somewhere else with politically charged comments is what we are asking. Stoking flames with overt political references is not the most supportive for most folks here. If what you truly meant to convey, that the White House smelled of smoke, we all know how differently and easily that could have, and perhaps should have been said. That building has been smoked in off and on for many years, pipes, cigarettes, cigars... It is best to avoid such overtly divisive and  derisive comments here. We are all here because at one point we all supported Big Tobacco. 
Thanks!

And yes, Congrats on your smoking cessation! 

There is nothing wrong with promoting, supporting, or going cold turkey. I support all here regardless in their choice of quitting. There are many who appear to feel cold turkey is best. You often appear to to take this stand and it often comes across as less supportive of those who choose a different route, though perhaps that is unintentional. This is as much about the journey as it is the end result. The struggle is real and hard for all. Sincerity and kindness are what keeps this place rolling in a productive manner. No worries Anne on a reply. I’ve written several answers to direct questions from you here and at this point I don’t expect a conversation. I understand that for some it works better to ask the occasional provocative question and they find this supportive, so, please, continue to ask away! 

Please don't post political stuff here. It makes me uncomfortable. 

Yes, Tiny, I believe that is what Jaka and I were saying as well. I commend Jaka, in Slovenia, for his wisdom. And you for coming out and just saying it. My attempt at a more subtle approach seemed to inspire an accusation of me supporting big tobacco somehow. Go figure. Next time, I will keep it simple as you did. 

 I do not appreciate your characterization of me.   Your opinion of me is not requested or required.   Please refrain from bullying me in this manner or I shall report you to the modems in this forum.

I think the debate here is going in completely wrong direction. This is not a forum to promote any political views. We are here for different reasons. What Quitalicious did is trolling and indeed hate speech and should be banned. We should also refrain from further discussion. I'm sorry to comment on this post in the first place. 

Anne I don't think there's anything wrong with promoting cold turkey. I did cold turkey as well. The problem is that we are now arguing about something that shouldn't be addressed here.

This is my last reply to this post. Wishing all of you wonderful smoke free day
