That's true.
Simply stop it. There will be some hard days, but it can be done, if you only want to. Thomas hat am 4. August 2009 um 22:30 Uhr aufgehört zu rauchen, ist damit schon 96 Tage 19 Stunden 6 Minuten 4 Sekunden rauchfrei, hat in dieser Zeit 2.516 Zigaretten nicht geraucht, 606,80 Euro gespart 2 Gramm Nikotin und 30 Gramm Teer den Lungen erspart und insgesamt 8 Tage 17 Stunden 40 Minuten RauchFrei-Zeit gewonnen. Sorry JP, i forgot to quote you  |

Well, since I smoked three packs a day for 48 years, just being alive is surprising. I am being paid back for my stupidity and have to use oxygen because I have emphysema. Other than that small problem, I am great.

U.S. Adult Smoking Rates Remain Stalled
For Immediate Release: November 12, 2009 Despite progress in some areas, smoking rates among U.S. adults remained stalled in 2008, halting the nation’s progress in ending the tobacco epidemic, according to a CDC study. The study, released in advance of the annual Great American Smokeout, found that 46 million Americans (20.6 percent) were current cigarette smokers in 2008, which is virtually unchanged since 2004 when 20.9 percent of adults reported being smokers. The study’s findings indicate an alarming trend, because smoking is the leading preventable cause of death, killing more than 443,000 people every year and costing the nation $96 billion in health care costs annually. This new data, based on the 2008 National Health Interview Survey, shows little to no change over the past five years and hints that smoking rates may be moving in the wrong direction... |

On Smokeout Day, What We Know About How to Quit
Researchers think combining meds and counseling works better for many smokers than a single drug can Today is the American Cancer Society's 34th annual Great American Smokeout—yet Americans seem determined to hang on to their cigarettes. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that after years of declining, the number of Americans who smoke headed back up last year. The agency estimates that 46 million adults were smokers in 2008, about 2 million more than the year before—an increase from 19.8 percent of all adults to 20.6 percent. Among Americans 65 and older, the percentage of smokers jumped 12 percent from 2007 to 2008. Good news: The smoking rate fell 3.6 percent in young adults from ages 18 to 24. Nearly half of the smokers surveyed in 2008 said they had quit for at least a day during the year. See video |

Cindy Naugle, a 61-year-old garage office manager in Fort Lauderdale who suffers from emphysema, was awarded $56m in compensatory damages plus $244m in punitive damages.
