I have been wanting to quit smoking since my kids were born. I had kids later in life and want to be around for them. Don't get me wrong I love to smoke! I probably wouldn't have even considered quitting if I didn't have kids. I tried quitting several times but it was extremely hard, I guess because I love it so much. Then came along FSC's! They taste so bad to me they made me cut way back. The head aches, the lung pain, the cough (from the FSC's) just wasn't worth it. I decided to purchase a Vapor King to see if it would help. It did more than help, they have almost totally replaced my Benson & Hedges. I have a pack of non FSC Benson & Hedges left and will have one about every 3 days (until they are gone). Then I will be totally smoke free. A regular cigarette actually tastes pretty bad compared to my cola flavored ecig carts. I had forgotten how good food can taste and can now smell again. I would like to thank the law makers and the cigarette companies for making FSC's, without FSC's I could not have quit smoking!!!

I agree with you. Been smoking for too many years to count. Price hikes didn't make me quit, schip didn't make me quit, nor did smoking bans make me quit. But FSC has pretty much done it for me. I can smoke a cigarette now and the coughing and headache that follows is just not worth it. I would still fight for smokers rights but at the same time I am happy that I have more money and feel better. Can't wait to see the overweight taxed next. It's about time people besides smokers are burdened with high taxes.

As an FYI, if it is your time to say goodbye to cigarettes I would highly recommend either a vaporizer or trying RYO tobacco for a few months to rid yourself of chemical addition before trying to quit. It really made it easier than I thought it would be. The FSC paper was just the extra shove I needed.

That sucks, but you're missing out, I'll tell you that much. Do what Wipeout suggests, try the RYO and let me know how it goes for you, I'm personally interested in trying it for myself. Good luck.
