Read a while ago about Mark Twain on the subject of smoking. He says, "Giving up smoking is easy - I've done it dozens of times!"...Unfortunately, I fall under the same category! Everytime I think I've gotten rid of the habit, my will power succumbs to the forces of evil...Tried cold turkey, worked for a month; tried the patch, made me nauseatingly sick the very next day; chewed nicorette, not much difference from a regular gum (but twenty times as expensive). Nothing's worked so far...I've now decided that I will continue smoking but will try and limit the cigarettes. So far, it's been working well as I'm only smoking on the wkends. Will slowly try and go cold turkey again...Am hoping it works this time around.
