Toi:
Of all the responses on this thread, I’d like to think mine was one of the more educated ones. Before you jump to conclusions that I have ‘no clue’ what I’m talking about and that ‘I’m explaining the entire situation’- why don’t you take a moment to read what I wrote in my first post. I wrote how the addiction starts and how dangerous it can potentially come. I did not state that anyone who smokes will drop dead tomorrow god forbid. I was merely quoting research and the DSM. Obviously I’ve struck a chord with you (based on your reaction and based on the new thread of helping smokers quit) & for that I apologize.
