Well, I am not a smoker,but my sister is,and even a heavy one. She knows all the disadvantages of being a smoker,but she just cannot quit! Actually,she once made up her mind to quit since she was pregnant at that time,and she did it!But just after she gave birth to my neice,she picked up smoking again!and now,even her husband complains about her smoking! I am not a smoker,so I don't really know how hard quiting could be.Well,are you a smoker,and do you find it very much hard work to stop?

I am a long time smoker I've been smoking since I was a teenager. I have tried to quit several times using different methods such as gums, patches, and even cold turkey. I'd have to say that it is really really hard to kick that habit, the bad ones are always the hardest to drop. One time I quit for 5-6 months or so, the method was cold turkey. I went back to smoking due to stress I was going through at the time, worst mistake I made even worse than starting smoking to begin with. I really wish you and your sister the best of luck, you could possibly find ways to motivate her to quit... her children and husband would be a good start.

My girl friend is a smoker,and even a heavy one.She also knows all the disadvantages of being a smoker,but she can't get rid of it .Now we have been marriged for one year.She is pregnant,and she do make up her mind to quit for the baby. But I am afraid that after giving birth she will pick it up again. Somking you know that is the hardest thing to stop.
