years if you want to bad enough you will quit unless you have a weak
mind!!!
The drug companys want you to think you need drugs or patches to quit you
just need to be strong and stop!



Some can, some can't. My father quit a 3 ppd habit cold turkey back when
I was 15 and hasn't smoked since, even though my mother continued to smoke
for another 20 years or so. The friend who inspired this whole thread has
quit 1000 times. I guess he's weak then. But that label doesn't help him
quit for good. This Chantix might.


My grandfathers brother had emphysema, weighed about 90 pounds, and was in
real bad shape - one day he wakes up and he is in a hospital bed - the whole
family is there, the priest is there, and he asks "What's going on?"

"The priest just gave you your last rites."

He replies "Maybe I should quit smoking."
