Whooooaaaaa!
Maryland depends on the tax revenue from smokers.
I'll drink to this?
I wonder, do the " low cost's" apply to those who work and NOT on medical assistance and have regular insurance or are they only available to low income people?
Chantix has the potential for very, very bad pyschologial effects such as depression and suicidal tendencies in some people taking it. very little research has been done. proceed with caution!
I smoked practically since I landed on this planet. I've lived through the period of an ashtray on your desk to "smoking rooms' then on to outside. One day, the person I worked for dropped an article on my desk entitled "Quit smoking through hypnosis" and added, he'd pay for the seminar if I joined him with this. The plan was to meet in the Holiday Inn Lounge hosting the event where we could down some quick drinks and chain-smoke for the courage we needed. I arrived to find my boss standing in parking lot who informed me that the Bar no longer existed. This was it! Well, I sat through the session refusing to toss my fresh, unopened pack on the floor during the final pitch. At the final conclusion, something magical happened. My boss "added to the agreement' that, if I started smoking again within 30 days, I had to pay him back. Well, that sealed overcoming the habit problem as well as the gagging I went through afterwards (in addition to a chest cold). I swore I would NEVER put my body through this level of torture again and I did not. The person who payed for my session? He restarted his smoking within 30 days and still puffs.
Sometimes the relief comes from the most unlikely sources and reasons. You CAN quit though even without drugs.
