Smoking for me puzzles me I was am an addict in recovery My issue was I could never go without that drug But if I was to try and keep up with the smokers at the bar or even in groups where many people were smoking it made me ill. So the addiction part I believe is in the make up of who you are I've done seeds in my ears for accupunture and needles in certain points for looking for any relief of the craving for that drug My opinion is unless it's a life threatening situation quitting any habit is mind over A lot of hard work You'll quit if you want it bad enough

Happy Birthday to our Country! This is a perfect day to quit smoking and celebrate with the country
