Started smoking in high school too (first year), because I wanted to be "cool" din. I used to smoke mga half pack lang naman a day. I quit summer before going to college because it came to a point that I was stealing coins from my mom's piggy bank just so I could buy a few sticks. I then said to myself kakahiya na to. So I then quit cold turkey. I started picking up the habit again when I started working, but I only smoked pag may inuman. Then my fiends & I had a biggest loser contest & decided to quit na talaga. Been smokeless for more than a decade now (does mj count? hehe). Hardest part really is probably the first week. After that, kaya na yan! Like I mentioned here before, ang dali lang mag quit! Ilang beses ko na ginawa yun! hehe.
