I quit smoking about 10 years ago when I was in the army. The army is pretty good about helping you quit. They provide free gum, patches or welbutrin. Or at least that was what they offered 10 years ago. That was before e cigs. I chose the welbutrin. It took me a couple tries but seemed to work pretty well and I was eventually successful. Good luck to all who are trying to quit.
We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox
