I've never smoked seriously in my life so I can't speak to it authoritatively. I tried it once when I was 10 and it cured me! But it seems that giving up smoking is a very hard thing to do for some people. Others can quit cold turkey. My dad did. My brother-in-law did. So did my sister but she had a much harder time with it than her husband did. Is it a psychological addiction more than a physical one? I always thought "it gives me something to do with my hands" was a very lame reason to start smoking. Anyway I just wonder why giving up something that could potentially kill you or others as it has proven to do a zillion times would be difficult at all? Do you too? Shouldn't it be a NO BRAINER? A bottle labeled POISON is not something you should keep ingesting. Neither is a cigarette something you should inhale or exhale or get involved with at all. .
