I quit smoking over a decade and a half ago. On 911, I smoked a box. I was trapped in Manhattan and watching the attacks, I could only sit in a bar, drinking and smoking, until I was allowed to travel home.
I lost a brother to a form of lung cancer, attributed directly to smoking. He died at age 47. By the time the doctors got done with him, he could not wipe his own arse. When his insurance ran out, the health care industry ran out. After all it was his own fault, yes.......................... ....
Nicotine is a poison, 1 pin head of pure nicotine will kill you.
I feel better physically and my wallet is heavier. NYC cig tax forces cigs to over $8/pk. I would advise anyone to quit, I did it cold turkey, only way to go.
Otherwise you do not really want to quit!
Having said all that, I find it ridiculous that business's, the government are interfering in peoples lives. As long as your away from others, no 2nd hand smoke, you should be able to do what you want. Cigs are a legal commodity! Either make them illegal or STFU! The only reason for the hub bub is because the insurance industry and their profit margin. Our society could careless about each others well being, its all about money.
I enjoyed smoking, but I quit on my terms. No outside money grubbing corp, should be allowed to tell you how to live. I'll bet that car exhaust is just as deadly as 2nd hand cig smoke. Yet we still drive.
The constitution of our great nation gives us the right to the pursuit of happiness!
