It's very hard to quit smoking.
I would know, because I used to be a chronic smoker myself.
I used to find anything to smoke.
Cigarettes, other paraphernalia (if you catch my drift), and even thyme leaves.
Yes, thyme leaves - the leaves that you use for cooking.
Me and my cousins used to get napkins filled with thyme leaves and light it up - hoping it would make us "feel good".
Luckily, those days are in the past.
But I still remember how it was hard to quit smoking.
I used to be addicted to cigarettes.
Sometimes, I even stole to smoke a cigarette - and I wasn't proud of it.
It was at this point where I knew that something had to change or else I was headed towards the crappers real fast.
Even though it's hard to quit smoking, it doesn't mean that it's not possible.
Thousands of people are trying to stop smoking right now and are having great success with it.
A lot of products have been created to help with stopping the smoking habit and some of them are very successful at what they do.

The feeling that nicotine creates is addictive, but you should know that it can be beat.
There are all kinds of products on the marketplace today that are designed to emulate the feeling of nicotine in your mouth so that you don't miss smoking cigarettes.
Some are good for what they do, but for some people this still isn't enough to get them to stop smoking.
The products that I'm referring to are patches and gums.
I'm sure you've heard of the Nicorette gum.
This was one of the first products to be introduced to the marketplace.
