Good for you Dragon!

Don't quit quitting. Took me a number of times before it took. I used to smoke up to four packs a day...then switched to cigars but would inhale them and chain smoke them. Got what I thought was food poisoning and went to the doc. He smelled my cigar stink, asked me how much I smoked, drew blood, and found out I had nicotine poisoning!

I used to assist at autopsys so have seen many smokers lungs...they look like large charcoal briquettes.

Not sure where in California you are but the American Cancer Society or American Lung Association may have, or be able to refer you to a free support group. Or there may be some Nicotine Anonymous or Smokers Anonymous meetings...forget which they call themselves now.

It won't be easy since chew tobacco has about 3X the nicotine delivery of cigarettes. But, it can be done. And, its worth it!

When I volunteered with the Phoenix Fire Deptartment they had posters in every fire house of the guys with no jaws from chew tobacco.
