Sunny Sweeney Keeps New Year’s Resolution-Quits Smoking

New year’s resolutions often go by the wayside by the second week of the year — at least for most people but not for country star Sunny Sweeney who says she wasn’t going to start her 2012 with a bad habit. Sunny posted via her Facebook and Twitter pages that she has officially quit smoking.

“Haven’t said anything til now but I wanted to share some good news. I am officially a non smoker,” Sweeney shared on Saturday. “Tomorrow is 29 days cigarette free! I am not missing it and loving every minute of it!”

Fans have been curious  on how the singer was able to pull it off, especially the smokers — and asked Sweeney to share her secrets. “The patch and the e cig,” she told one fan in a direct tweet. The patch is a common device to aid in quitting smoking, as it’s topical and administers a nicotine replacement which helps with withdrawal. The ‘e cig,’ or electronic cigarette, as it's called, is a mock cigarette that releases a mist to simulate smoking without the health risks.

If Sweeney keeps up the good work, she’ll celebrate a month as a non-smoker on Wednesday.
