For Rory:
Its great to be able to influence others in their resolve to quit. The best way to help is by setting an example. By not smoking and still living, and I mean still carrying on with your normal life and even smiling every once in a while, smokers around you see that there is life after smoking and may start to recognize that it is a good life.
While your reason for quitting was not the idea of helping others quit, it is just a potential side benefit. Hopefully it will influence those closest to you who still feel that their survival is dependent on smoking. Because the fact the inverse of this logic is true. Survival is really based on not smoking. To keep maintaining maximum health and longer life always remember to remind yourself and to share by example to others around you the simple concept of to stay smoke free you can never take another puff!
