How Jana Quit Smoking After 31 Years (2-3 Packs A Day): Life-Changing Advice for Perfectionists

Welcome to this episode of Ask an Ex.

In this interview, Jana Cole from Illinois, USA, shares how she quit smoking 2–3 packs a day after 31 years with the CBQ Nicotine Freedom Program.

Jana has been smoke-free for over 4 years, and she’s sharing the exact mindset shifts that made the difference.

If you want to quit but feel stuck, Jana’s advice might be the most important you hear:

  • The perfectionism trap (and how it keeps you stuck)
  • Why her smoking doubled right before she quit
  • The lie addiction tells you about who you are
  • The false quit date (and what finally worked)
  • What cravings and boredom were really about
  • How quitting affected her anxiety and depression
  • Why change is possible, even if you don’t believe it yet
