No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to quit smoking. I've tried nicotine
patches and gum, but I've never been able to cut down on my smoking for some
reason. You were a heavy smoker, Josh. How did you kick the habit. |

I'd say it's a matter of will
power. A lot of people use smoking as a coping mechanism for their
moods. Nicotine is a drug that provides instant gratification once
you inhale, it's delivered to the brain in a matter of seconds. You
need to think twice before you light up. |

In my case, I crave a cigarette
whenever I feel stressed out. Do you think I should throw away my
cigs and go cold turkey ? |
| Josh |
That's a thought. Just do it. Never underestimate the power of the
mind. |
