I have a friend who's been chain-smoking for about a year now, and he just can't quit. Then again he hasn't tried to very hard or tried using any products. I'd personally just cut down slowly over time then use a patch or something.

I've actually questioned why they don't make it illegal though. I mean think about it they're known to cause all kinds of deadly illnesses and we all know it's bad for you. Now yea it can be said it's a personal choice but then why are drugs illegal? Why aren't they just a personal choice at least pot. Pot is pretty much no worse than having a drink. (I don't do it personally but still) Plus they're addicting so if your a teen and you pick one up not really thinking about the damage it can cause and you become hooked it's a bitch to come off. Hell there are kids that their parents smoke and they start sneeking cigs when they're like 9. And anyone can say oh well I know someone that quit it's not that hard. It varies from person to person you have to remember that. Not everyone's body reacts the same to the addiction.
