				 Re: Quitting cigs... again... 
 
			
			It's still worth it.  You may have to give up drinking or smoking crack for a bit, as these trigger activities will cause the cravings to come back.  But if you can stay away from them for a week or two you should be golden.  I am not a smoking finger-wagger,
 but I have been off em for over a year and do not think about them anymore.  BUT, I didn't really commit until I already had COPD.
 I quit two years or more ago, but then picked up a little of the herb, and of course, had to buy cigs, and then HAMMERED em for about three
 months before I noticed that THIS time I really couldn't breathe anymore.  I think it was that 3 months that pushed me past being
 a cheezy wheezy into full on Emphysema.  Make no mistake, if you smoke, you WILL eventually harden your lung tissue to the point
 where you can't get a proper lungful of air.  Even if you never get cancer, you are going to have trouble breathing when you hit
 your 40's.  It is not worth it.  I enjoyed my days of smoking, being cool, having something to do when bored, all of it.  After sex,
 after meals, waking up, before bed....the whole deal.  But knowing how I would feel today, it ain't worth it.  If I had to run away
 from a monster to save my life, I would be dead.  I used to move myself and took pride in it.  If I moved from this house I live in now,
 I'd have to hire movers or I would drop like a stone.  No one wants to be useless.  CIGS will do it.  Stay off em and be happy for yourself.
