  1. Yes @QuittingGirl, we Canadians will also never forget & mark the solem anniversary each year. A number of Canadians were also in the towers that day as well. No one I personally knew though. Canada also played a role in the aftermath by having American International flights land in Gander, Newfoundland due to the no-fly order in US airspace that lasted a few days. The locals in Gander opened their houses to these shocked, stranded American passengers and treated them like family until they were allowed to go home. They cooked for them and offered additional clothing and a number of other things that were needed due to the unexpected delay for the passengers. What happened during those days between the passengers & locals was nothing short of miraculous! Life long frienships made between people who under normal circumstances would never have even met. To this days a number ofthose passengers have come back to Gander to renew their friendships with those who cared for them during thos horrible days. They even made a broadway type play about this called "Come From Away"; which is Newfoundland speak for "visitor that lives elsewhere". The felling of the towers by terrorists was truly evil and devastating but amongst the anger & sorrow there was something good, some human goodness that did come about and although it was little known at the time, it stands as a beacon to mankind that there is still goodness in humanity and it tends to rise up during the worst of times. May all those who perished that day R.I.P and yes; We Sall Never Forget!

  3. There's been a downward trend over all, according to CDC studies over the past decade or so.. Even the lower percentage years represent millions of Americans; and that's just the USA. Smoking cigs is much, much more prevalent in some Eurpoean & other countries considered to be 3rd world countries so there's still a great need for sites like Quit Train to encourage people thinking about quitting and then helping them along the way with positive support and never any judgement. I think we'd all agree that quitting on the Train with all the other quitters was an important part of our success! Thank you to Quit Train and all it's members who helped drag me through the tough days of my quit. It was quite a surprise to me how much the support of others helped me

  5. I completely agree with your final statement! I'll pass on the "battle" though. Seen too much of that on other websites Has anyone on either side of the debate ever convinced someone on the other side to come across to the other side? I think not! So tiring reading the same debate points over & over & over. It's utterly exhausting. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more divisive subject as whether to Vax or not Vax. My viewpoint on the Vax subject is: You do you & I'll do me. That avoids a lot of nonsense

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
