I have smoked cigarettes off and on through out my life and I never liked to date anyone that smoked. I quit smoking and drinking when I married my first husband I did it for him, I wound up resenting him and in my head I always said "when he leaves I will smoke/drink again", well guess what? 5 yrs later he left and I started smoking and drinking again. When I married my 2nd husband he smoked and drank so I didn't quit for him but during the marriage I decided to quit both --mainly to anger him-- but I did quit for 5years. Well 6 yrs into the marriage he left me for another and within a year I was back to smoking and drinking more than ever! and continued to do so for nearly 12 years. I finally quit drinking 2.5 yrs ago for ME, my daughter had given up on me as did most everyone else including myself. You can't quit for anyone but yourself or it won't work in the long run.
