Donna, my brother in law gave up a three pack of day habit, one he had for over 30 years. That was over two years ago.

I pointed him in the direction of the Ann Penman Laser clinic (there are may in different states). It's painless and not overly expensive. He went twice. The treatment or therapy takes away the physical addition almost immediately. The mental part of it is another story and that's the hurdle but each day got better.

If he can do it, in my opinion, anyone can do it because he was a die hard smoker who liked to smoke. It was at the persistence of my sister that he finally gave in and went. I had sent her the information after hearing it advertised and it was a blessing (in her eyes) that I happen to hear it one day and send it along.

Just someting to think about - I know how hard it is to want to give it up. I saw my Dad try to give it up many times but unfortunately, it got him before he could.

I guess I'm fortunate that I never had a desire to smoke or even try it.
