I'd buy it if it means I can quit smoking. Yeah I realize neither is a good idea, but it would be nice to give my lungs a break.

Personally, I think it's great they are trying things like this out. There is more to the smoking habit than nicotine no matter what anyone says. The reason the patch helps some is because it allows you to tackle one part of it at a time. The physical habit and then the nicotine habit which can be done by decreasing the amount of intake over time.

If I could get past the physical habit, I'd be able to quit alot easier.

The senate just voted to have tobacco regulated by the FDA..... I suppose you will need a prescription to purchase even cigarette lighters and matches when this becomes law.

Who cares if teenagers smoke or use tobacco?

Big deal. They drink soda, have sex, among a myriad of other things.

And they drive cars!

Egads!

It isn't hard to quit smoking.... I have quit hundreds of times and like the way that I feel so much afterwards, I start smoking again so I can quit again..... I think that the ritual of making a cigarette, putting it in a holder and lighting up, has become a big part of my addiction..... I don't smoke so much that I have withdrawal symptoms as I did when I bought them by the pack or carton and only had to reach in my pocket and then light one up.... The process of making them one at a time slightly delays the gratification, much the same as cooking and preparing a meal does compared to eating fast food and results in a healthier utilization of tobacco as it does with food products.... I order tobacco products when I am out over the net and do without for five or six days at a time to keep the cost around $2.00 a day or in most cases less.... I don't thing I could manage the candy tobacco products nearly as well... When the FDA begins regulation of tobacco products, there will be a growing market for legal herbs and botanical products for smoking and I might give them a try.
