Hi Harrison,
I can't think of an easy way to quit. I agree that Dr's run from smokers and I knew I needed help that I didn't want something stupid to stand in my way. I think my Dr. still sniffs me.

Just about the only sure thing is you are guaranteed to fail.

First I tried cold turkey and there was a telephone help line (maybe Red Cross) I called to get the message of the hour.
Then I tried brushing my teeth all day. The Ex. said I was smoking and drinking away our vacation home. Then the gum came out and I tried that. Then I tried changing all my habits, exercise, quit alcohol and threw out all tobacco, matches and ash trays. I failed for 17 yrs.

Next was a mix of all the above and I have 10 yrs. 7 mos and 16 days on earth smoke free.

Looking back, the only failure is not to try.
