If read what I wrote you would have noticed that I didnt say anything about people not being able to quit cold turkey. I know its possible, I know people who have done it. What I am saying is that even if you really did start smoking at 5 years old there is no way your nicotine intake would be anywhere near what high teen to an adult takes in. Generally as a 5-10 yr. old you are in your parents or an adult gaurdians company way too much to pull off a pack a day or more. So you can't call people sissies or anything else for not quitting cold turkey. The years of habit and physical addiction is just not there. If I had wanted to try to quit when I was 13 I could have easy as pie because I had only been smoking maybe a pack a week at that point. You have to take into account that as a child you are in school 8 hrs. a day. If you smoke on the way home you will get caught because you will reek of smoke. You eat dinner at home, sleep at home, and at that age I doubt that your curfew was 11 p.m. I was out a lot (prob more than I should have been at that age) and I could only pull off maybe a pack a week with my buddies help. That being said quitting at that age should be no problem for even a person without any willpower at all. You just cant compare that to someone who has been smoking for over 10 years at a pack a day at least, maybe more. And if you could at that age I am now disappointed in your mother for not keeping a better eye on you. And by the way I don't get mad over much, I just don't like you belittling someone who has made an incredibly tough step as trying to quit smoking with quit smoking aids or not. Someone who is trying to quit needs support not smug comments from someone who got the participation trophy and not First Place. Jims69 I wish you the best of luck and hopefully soon here I will be following in your footsteps!!
