Wait til your your dad or someone very close to you passes away after battling cancer. He had lung cancer from smoking, quit 8 years prior to getting diagnosed. Watch someone go through chemo and radiation and see how that is. That should make anyone quit.
If you don't have anyone with cancer around you, which is pretty much impossible these days, head on down to the cancer clinic and just listen to how people breathe that have lung cancer. It'll scare the hell out of you.
I quit when my dad was diagnosed and haven't had one ounce of urge for it again. Actually, I wish to god that I never did smoke. If I had any clue how bad lung cancer was, I never, ever would have started. Seriously, most people don't realize how harsh lung cancer is. Like I said, you'll quit if you witness what people with that illness have to go through. If you don't quit after that.....????

Congratulations that you quit and have been able to stay smoke free. Yes, I think if most of us saw lung cancer in one of our loved ones, it would definitely have a profound effect on us, and probably would make it easier for most of us to give it up too.
I'm sorry you lost your Dad to cancer, and it's a shame that it happens as it's so preventable. Your dad must have been so proud of you for quitting. :)
