Just read that since 1998 , the average nicotine yield of most brands of cigarettes has increased by at least 10%!! Kool LIGHTS has increased by a whopping 30%!!!! 92 out of the 116 brands has increased the nicotine.....especially in the brands that attract young and minority smokers!! Damn....no wonder I can't quit!!! Moms, Dads.....gotta preach more to your kids!!! They're out to get them!!!

Just read it in "The Week". It's a weekly magazine that highlights the weekly current events. Under their "Health Scare of the Week" section. Just found it for you in a Washington Post link - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/30/AR2006083001418.html

I just quit...well I'm trying to quit, and it sucks. I've been smoking a pack or so a day, more on the weekend, and I've cut down to no smoking at all from the time I get up until like midnight, then I smoke like 2 or 3 get pissed that I did and then go to sleep. I'm not using any thing to relieve the cravings and I get pretty pissed during the day. I've realized I hate my job, and all the people I work with, and I'm going to have to do more than quit smoking to change my life. Curses.

WE ALL HAVE OUR VISES AND SMOKING IS NOT THE WORST, DRUNK DRIVING IS A LOT WORSE.

no, you "can't" quit because you are weak, and you CHOOSE not to quit.
