This guy evidentally has never heard of Nicorette gum or was too stupid to use it.

A box of Nicorette gum costs $49 dollars, and why should he give the big bucks to Big Pharm, Sweetie!

Smoking is the relaxation of choice for many people. What do you prefer? Prescription drugs or booze?

Gardening, reading and FreeRepublic all beat drugs and booze.

But for peace of mind, I recommend The Comforter.

P.S. Nicorette gum was released for over the counter (nonprescription) use by the FDA only on condition of it costing more than cigarettes so that it wouldn't be used as a first source for nicotine addiction.

That was not the fault of the drug company that makes it.

Now, what many people may not realize is that one piece of gum contains more nicotine than most people get in a cigarette. The way to use the gum to maximum (and cost efficient) effect, is to bite off about a third of a piece, chew it a little, move it (with your tongue) to the inside of your cheek to absorb the drug most efficiently, and every few minutes, chew it a bit more and move it back to the inside of your cheek.

One piece of gum is equal to about three cigarettes for many people.

And for people who want to fly or want to keep their job, it may be cost effective also.

Still at it, eh? Can't imagine any way to relax without drugs, can you?

Personally, I think making love to my wife beats any drug ever invented.

Fine, just do it on your own time.

Get a hobby. Better yet, start a business, hire only smokers, pay them by the hour and tell them they can go out and smoke, or even run errands to their hearts content during work hours.
