Will power is an important factor to any compulsive behavior,
I started smoking only once I arrived in the UK, and again quit about 15 years later moving out to my island,
everybody I knew in the UK smokes cigs, and still does ..
but in my new life, smoking cigs is seriously dumb,
many drugs are around now to make life easier for smokers, Zyban the one I tried was the best.
Unfortunately I've dropped my cig smoking buddies,
as I know if around them ...I'd only continue, as I did at a Christmas party,
I rolled a UK spliff, it was fantastic, so I use it for very very special moments.
See your compulsive syndrome as a hidden positive talent,
that ....if you try you can succeed ..
at anything!
Good Luck
