Last time I quit was in 2000 and I was smoke free for 3 years, then I happen to meet smoker and I try to make her stop by smoking my self (wise move) Last time I quit it was cold turkey, same will happen this time. Woohoo! she leave in 2 weeks. It's just a matter of personal motivation and if you gonna keep pressuring smokers to quit they will rebel even more. That's not the way it works. Clinton had a right idea by raising tax and choking the industry, not going after consumer/victim but I guess you can conceder raising tax on smokes as hitting smokers where it hurts the most. I wish they'd make it $10 a pack!
