I support the ABSOLUTE RIGHT of people to smoke. It is a freedom thing.
That said, I recently quit smoking after 30 years. It took a drug called Wellbutrin (also known as Zyban) but it worked. This drug is available by prescription only and there are risks. But it worked. After dozens of tries and nothing else working, it worked.
If you want to quit, check this out with your doctor. It works by alleviating the withdrawal symptoms and the craving for tobacco.
It will NOT work if you don't want to quit smoking. I have talked to people who took the drug and did not quit.
BTW. I am one of the four who get a smoking related disorder. I have a very mild case of COPD. Hopefully it will not get worse, but at least I am not wasting money on cigarettes anymore. I feel pretty good about that.
I agree, wholeheartedly!!!
