Cannot Smoke Under Bankruptcy?

A Houston newspaper reported today that a bankruptcy judge has denied a couple's request to allow $170.00 a month for cigarette purchases. The couple maintains that smoking cessation programs cost much more than that, and that the stress of bankruptcy would likely cause them to fail to quit. The judge did not buy their argument and denied the budget item. Way to go judge!!

Helping Others to Quit Smoking

I had intended to post at least several times a week, but "life" got in the way! One thing worth mentioning to those of you who are still smoking and want to quit, there is a fairly new prescription drug called Chantix that seems to be very effective. I do not have personal knowledge of it, but a support group I belong to has quite a few members who have successfully quit without too much "pain".

I would really like to hear other people's stories of how they quit - their successes as well as their failures. Smoking cessation is such an important subject - I don't want to be preachy about it but you never know whose story will inspire someone else to quit.
