Money is not much goo...You seriously want to quit? Money is not much good as a reason. Unless you only have $10 to your name, $5 up in smoke is pretty small potatoes. When you quit, you will not suddenly find the bucks stashed under the mattress.<br />I stopped cold turkey Labor Day 1990 out of sheer terror. Thought I was developing emphysema. Was just a bad ragweed year. Still. Since then, while I still have colds and allergies(not talking miracles here), almost never so bad as before. <br />Oh, yeah: withdrawal. Didn't have any trouble there. It was hand habits that were the hard thing to kick. All those times you reach for a cig without thinking.
