I'm attempting to quit. It is very hard. Started smoking when I was 14 and I'm now 42. I do not know how many knocks on the head I need to stop....I have had three collapsed lungs. But, as of the first of the year I have been wheening myself off of them. I buy crappy cigarettes that taste bad....therefore, the thought of one is not as appealing as the brand I liked smoking. So, I'm down to 8-10 a day as opposed an entire pack of 20. It is without a doubt one of the hardest thing to kick. Ease of purchase and nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs out there. With the tide turning on smoking to be unacceptable out in public and the taxes per pack raising every other day....not a wonder I did not quit sooner.
