If you have ever smoked in the past or if you still smoke now, you are well aware of how difficult it is to quit. There are so many different options available for quitting, however, it seems like it would be an easy thing to do. Just off the top of my head, I’m thinking about nicotine gum, the nicotine patch, hypnosis, going cold turkey or meeting with a local group of other smokers who are trying to kick the habit. Although we recognize that it is bad for us, there are still millions of people who smoke every day.
