My girlfriend and I are trying to quit via "The cut down" method. I also have become the brunt of many emmotional outbursts. When this happens, I just lock myself in the cellar, put my feet up, and light up a smoke. I've gone from 15 to 3 a day this week. She is having much more difficulty then I. Is Ziban the new pill? I have often thought if instead of damaging your lungs every time you had a smoke, a facial blemmish appeared, it would be much easier to quit.
