I think that if you quit something that is harmful to you, and do something that is less harmful in place of......then those are steps toward a positive outcome and a goal that each person thought out for themselves. I think no less of anyone or their will power and anything else used if you need(ed) tools to help you quit. No one way is any better than another when it comes to smoking cessation. The common ground is sufficient.
What I want to say to all the "quitters " (as i affectionately refer to us) here is GREAT for you that you are thinking about it and reading this encouraging and supportive thread........ WONDERFUL to those who are in stages from days, to weeks to months........and a GLORIOUS yaaaahhoooo

to those who working towards or close to a year and beyond!!
It is my hope that nonel of us ever give up our desire to be or continue to be non smokers......we are sooooo worth it !
Ummm, is this where I get to say : GO STEELERS !! <wink>
