Wow, I have not fallen victum to this issue! This is my first time that I actually quit. We all suffer from this addiction. I dont think its a demon or sorcery. Look at the source of this addiction. Its a drug and there is no getting around that. Like cocane and heroin, its attacks the brain, it makes us feel good only to kill us in the end! Unlike other drugs, it is ok to use this drug! If it were not, it wouldnt be on the market! Millions and millions of dollars are spent on this drug and just as much goes to the lobbyist. Our governments talk about a smoke free society yet they except "campagin donations" from the manufactures of tobacco. This drug will never end, there is too much money in it. The health care industry gets there kick backs from the manufactures, so do the politicians. The scource needs to be delt with. It is what it is and it doesent go away peteg because our society wont do any thing about it. It is not regulated whatsoever. Did you ever take a good look at a cig? Look at the little lines that go around the paper. That is gun powder! It is used in the paper to keep it lit. We inhale gun powder and that is ok with the manufacture? They could care less about us as a society and our gouvernments know this and refuse to do any thing about it. Of cource, this is only my opinion.

Hello Kevin, I have the ut most respect for the members of this site and what they have accomplished. I only wish that I could do the same. My beef is not with the methods of my quit or any ones quit for that fact. All I am saying is that there is someone to blame for all that WE as individules have to go through. We made a choice at some point in our life. That choice was obviously not a good one. Were we told about the choice that we made? Where were the politicians then? They post these little warnings on the sides of cig packs! Big deal. Why doth they post one that reads, " WE PUT CARCINOGENS IN THE CIGS THAT WE SELL YOU. YOU WILL ADVENTUALLY DIE IF YOU KEEP SMOKING OUR CIGS! WE JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN!" They forget to mention that stuff.

I'm so pathedic

Hey you! my words exactally, holidays do suck! Please get up, take a deep breath and let it out, do it again. You are a special person and you need not get yourself down. You are feeling the effects of a rotten drug, so just relax, take a few deep breaths. Call someone who you are close with and talk to them, but DO NOT SMOKE! Keep posting and posting! I guarantee you will feel better. Jim
