I don't understand long term smokers who simply quit without using any
crutches. I used pills (zyban), patches, and frequent visits to the
smoking support group. My blood pressure went through the roof within a
couple of months of my quit date. That certainly wasn't because I
stopped smoking ... I think is was because I started hanging around RFC
too much! ;^)
