There was a piece on my local Canadian news this morning but I only caught the last part of it. I was so disgusted I wrote it down on my list of why I'm quitting just to re-inforce my decision. This is what they said to the best of my recollection (can't write as fast as people can talk lol).
"During a 7 year study, results show an 11% increase in all (not sure how many brands were in the study) brands of cigarettes making quitting for those who are trying or considering trying, just that much more difficult".
After I saw that, I decided to start my med today instead of waiting. I may still keep my original quit date, but now there's even more reason to continue with my self imposed cut it regularly down, cut it back to the bone, cut it off and throw it out program.
