I tried to get help and think I deserve it but they refused me I think the tobacco companies should have club meds for people like me seeing I fed into their sick habit-parents both smoked in the car-it was the 60's they didn't know what they were doing by the time I was 11 I was smoking in the woods with all my friends thinking it was the grown up thing to do so really we didn't have a clue and they need to pay!

C mon, are you serious? We all know smoking is probably the most addictive habit above all crappy habits, however, it is not mind altering, the physical dependencies of withdrawl are not life threatening like some can be.. ie, heroin, crack . And the underlying reason between WHY PEOPLE SMOKE vs. WHY PEOPLE DO OTHER ADDICTIVE DRUGS, is not a mental thing. I think most people who go to a rehab treatment are not only trying to rehabilitate their habits but rehabilitate their self worth and self esteem. I have never met a cigarette smoker that wishes they were dead for example while trying to kick the habit. Go get nicaderm cq and quit blaming others for you choosing to light up.

If you really want to know:
The rehab center near my home has special programs for heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana and various other drugs - but no smoking cessation program.
When I asked why, I was told that the success rate was so poor that they never continued their pilot program!
Most people enrolled that finished the program were back smoking within 6 months. Their statistics showed that people who gave up on their own - with or without nicotine substitutes - did far better than those who depended on the rehab program.
I guess it really does boil down to how badly you really want to quit.

i know how you feel. i would definitely quit smoking if i could live in a care center for a month, not work, have my meals cooked for me, etc, and not have to worry about sh*t other than not smoking. but we don't have that option! what gives??
