I would never argue that smoking is a "good thing". I was just saying...
What about quitting slowly, which I’m sure is harder to do?
Would a nicotine patch help? Could it be related to what that does to your body?
There’s still a lot of unanswered questions.
It reminds me of a friend. She put the family on an very low fat diet quite suddenly, just decided to do it one day. Her husband had a serious heart attack within a month. She always wondered if the sudden change was responsible. This sounds like much the same thing.
