Seriously woodbine, you will probably bang the head off the wall and say, "no, I am a real smoker as opposed to those other smokers who quit (we all think that), I can't quit, it's too hard". Its bullsh*t, you can, it is mind over body. I don't want to sound like a counsellor,I just want you to succeed but as Lex said, we all wish we never touched a cigeratte, there is always that little niggle... but you can't smoke forever, you have to do it some day and to be honest, I was so sick of thinking about quitting the cigerattes that it consummed my thoughts everytime I had one, even when I wasn't, that is why I quit so abruptly, just said to myself, 'I am sick of thinking about it, lets just get this over with'. I did it, got it over with, will never smoke again, and do think about them less and less every day. Good luck, it need not be as hard as you think, every person is different, but if you really want to quit, you can and it can be done quite easily. That is the big secret of stopping!
