Happy to Have Quit.

I'm going towards my fourth anniversary of being smoke, and the debt of each pack, free and all the richer for it if not only in health but pocket as well. I'm amazed at how much cigarettes have gone up in price in just a short few years. They're expensive enough in Florida where I am but where I came from in Massachusetts the price is even higher. With the tools available to people to quit, if not just to cut down, I can't understand why more people haven't done so. There is still the ever present nicotine gum and patches, which never seemed to make a significant dent in the habit. There are new weapons to fight the habit such as Chantix and the smokeless ecigarette. I did my quitting with the Chantix as the smokeless products weren't available when I decided to kick the habit but I've heard good things about it none the less. To every idea there are naysayers that will tell you "it doesn't work" and "save your money" but I believe these people just like to hear themselves talk and any method you decide to take is a step in the right direction.
