Today is my first quit day. I quit in 2012 when a Dr told me my broken arm was not healing because nicotine suppresses blood vessels and hinders the bones. After 6 month bones fused and back to the can. Now my 12 and 9 year olds asked me to quit for good as the don't want it to hurt me so here I am. I am fearful of the side effect and if anyone has advice or encouragement it would be greatly appreciated. My family is my motivation and you folks are my inspiration.
Just shot you a private message PM to give you next step instructions, welcome!

I am ready to be done for good. I do remember felling so much better and the side effects surpassed with the exception of waking up multiple time a night.

On one hand I hate any entity telling someone they can't do something.

On the other hand, I've got a hard time finding anything wrong with this particular course of action. Well done!
