Subject: RE: BS: HELP Am trying to give up smoking.
Hi Mel,

When I quit smoking, which was harder than learning to yodel, I found that flavor was a major issue with me. I started with substituting cinnamon chewing gum for Kool Menthols. I also hopped on the Schwinn and pedaled every night for 4 months. When things got hardest, I ate white seedless grapes which in my case killed the screaming crawlies. The other thing that helped in a very perverse way was I kept a new pack of Kools in the car. They were always there, still are in fact, 18 years and 4 cars later. That way I never had to bum them cause I just had to open the glove box. Knowing theywere there was enough for me. Having them meant I didn't need them.

Last , Don't ever should upon your self. I should have quit before, I should never have started again. I shouldn't buy these now. Bad for the mental health in all things. Instead, if you grab a smoke and start again. Grab a grape and quit again when you can.

Good luck my friend.

Don
