Get Help To Quit Smoking

With cigarette prices rising to about four dollars per pack, a pack-a-day habit costs a smoker over $1400 per year.  You can add on another $500 in health insurance costs.  There's also the likelihood of lost wages: an employer might lay you off first if they have to pay higher health insurance, and probably won't promote you if they view smoking as an offensive habit.

A smoking medicines article at MayoClinic.com explains the medicines that can help smokers quit once and for all.  These temporary treatments will help relieve the withdrawal symptoms that make it so hard to stop smoking.  It says "Only about 5 percent of smokers are able to quit without help.  The success rate averages about 30 percent for people who combine pharmacologic therapy with support and counseling from a health care provider."

Fortunately, online support is available at QuitSmokingSupport.com. They promise to "provide you with the most reliable and up-to-date information and resources available in a very interactive Web site to assist you in quitting smoking. We are totally committed to providing support and assistance to anyone who has the desire to stop smoking. Everything on this Web site is totally free of charge! Support is an important ingredient in the quitting process and you will find plenty of that here!"    QuitNet.org is another support site, with a free newsletter and tips.

I recommend that smokers buy anti-smoking medicine at an online drugstore.  Here's how:
