NOW, how many are going to quit the butts?
With the new federal tax hike on tobacco, the price of a carton of Marlboros here in Texas just went to well over $50 a carton! I've smoked for over 50 years and have been struggling to quit. I now have to thank the folks in D.C. for the new tax. It's the straw on this camels back that's going to enable me to quit. How many are going to join me?
Two things do make me sad though: #1 Like all things D.C, the money won't be put to the stated purpose for the new tax, and #2 - The big tobacco companies are renewing their efforts to spread their cancerous plague in the third world countries amd China. They won't miss a beat or lose a dime.
K9- Worth a shot. Already quit once by doing that. Doc advised when you wake up in the am and go for a cig, stop and see how long you can wait. Last time I reached all day! Started again ugh!

I have never smoked, but my mom quit in Jan.09. She has stage 3 lung cancer and is going through hell emotionally. She quit cold turkey and I think the cancer is keeping her from not smoking.
As a dog trainer I went to seminar on dog aggression and the researchers were taking about stimulus control. They talked about stop smoking. It was very interesting, and this is worth a try for you.
Write down all the times that you tend to smoke, say like after a meal. What you would decide is that for one of those times you will not smoke, and you can smoke at any other time of the day. Then gradually take another time that you normally smoke and not doing it at that time.
You never give up trying. You mess up you mess up, there is another day. Try this method and see what happens and let me know. Because I am having to deal with my mom and her cancer, I just thought this would help people stop smoking so that they don't end their lives short and leave everyone behind.
