I quit cold turkey the day I separated from the Army and never looked back. I clearly remember dropping my cigarettes and a pipe in a waste container at San Francisco Airport. And that was that, 51 years ago.
First off, thank you for your service.

Unfiltered Camels was hard core! I was up to 3 packs a day when I quit. I found myself lighting my next cigarette off the one I was just finishing. I woke up one morning and realized I had to stop. My propensity to overdo is why I'm careful with alcohol. I don't want to have to give it up completely. I'm grateful I have the ability to do that.
