I actually help people quit for a living. I never realized how difficult quitting was until I spent 8 hours a day talking to people (some of them in tears) about it. So everyone out there who is trying to quit: Keep at it. It sucks but as long as its something you really want, its worth it. Yay for the Great American Smoke out!!

A lot of people don't realize how much the behavioral side of the addiction really plays a part in their ability to stay tobacco free. My job is basically to help people plan for the behavioral side. I use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to help people find the break down in their thought process and to help them plan around those break downs to be more successful. Its like a mini therapy session focused on tobacco. We also provide patches, chantix, etc. for people. The typical rate of success for someone trying to quit on their own is something like 30%. My company operates at around 47%. My job is pretty awesome.
