4r3s's quitting smoking Journal

4r3s · 04-29-2011, 01:19 PM

Started step 2 today, I can tell I'm getting less nicotine now too. My hands are all sweaty and I feel pretty jittery and anxious. Also have a slight headache but I think thats from my allergies, not really sure though. This whole process sucks and isn't fun but seriously anyone that thought quitting smoking would be fun is an idiot.

You know I've been doing a lot of reading on smoking and nicotine addiction recently and I'm just blown away at how cigarettes legal. Basically quitting smoking cigarettes is more difficult than quitting heroin or cocaine. NICOTINE - HARDER TO KICK...THAN HEROIN - NYTimes.com I'm just in shock about this, I am in no way saying that they should make cigarettes illegal, but it just raises a lot of questions about our legal system and how laws are made. Clearly the government isn't making these types of laws because they care about their citizen's well being. I guess I already knew this because everytime the govn't ups the taxes on smokes they say its an incentive to quit but the reality of it is if even a quarter of the smokers out there quit the govn't would be f*cked by all the lost revenue, they don't want you to quit at all...
