Introduction

We’ve all heard those remarkable I quit cold turkey stories from our friends, and although we find it incredibly hard to believe, it isn’t a myth at all. It’s true!

In the end, there are some things we can overcome with the help of others and then there are just some things we each need to solve on our own. In my opinion, quitting tobacco is one of those things. You need to overcome this by yourself. I say this so that someone
