From a member of alt.support.stop-smoking We are a group of people who have found that, contrary to what we thought at one point, there is not wisdom or sublimity in inhaling cancer causing chemicals into our lungs. Many of us tried to reduce our smoking, only to find that we could not. Accepting that an addiction was controlling us, we are quitting. Recognizing that it is the most difficult thing most of us have ever done, we provide support, information and motivation for each other. You are welcome to lurk for awhile. Most of us did. Some of us came, like you, with only curiosity and no intention to really quit. That was a little too frightening and permanent a decision. But we stayed and we quit. Maybe you will find that is what you want to do. If so, we are here to help you. sherry 3m * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

More like being brainwashed and led like sheep by the antis are what controls you. So your problem is not quitting smoking, your problem is having no independant thought or the ability to control your own life. Had you said you wanted to quit smoking because you found it gave you no pleasure I would say more power to you. But you didn't. You took the weak road instead. > Recognizing that it is the most difficult thing most of us have > ever done, we provide support, information and motivation for > each other. > > You are welcome to lurk for awhile.
