Fair enough, NRT sounds a better long term strategy then.
I only discovered I was capable of quitting because the government started to get stupid about the amount of tax they wanted to punish 15-20% of the community with since it's a nice elastic market and they could pretend it was a health initiative.
As an aside; however, they've finally managed to find the elastic point for a lot of people, either quitting or buying chop-chop. They upped the tax 25% in 2010 and got a 19% increase in revenues, then put it up again and got a 19% reduction in revenues. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that wasn't 30% of the smokers quitting...
