It's hard to quit. I use it as a crutch for a nxiety.I stopped for 8 years but relapsed.

I stopped for 2 months in march.but I decided not to allow more than 2 packs a week because it's expensive like $8.00 a pack.

Big improvement instead of a pack a day.

Smoking cigs do not help with stress that is just a cop out. You can get through a stress with out 10 minutes of smoking.
