None of your links go to marijuana abuse, and your drug abuse link is vague, at best. "No motivation" as a psychological issue , at the very least, should be addressed.

If you click on Drug Abuse there are several articles listed there. There is even one about marijuana use.

I just went to the site on Marijuana use. Sort of useful. I have been smoking since I was 13 years old, now I'm 43. While it took me away from the daily nonsense in my life, I wasn't content having to smoke my life away to get through the days. I recently decided to stop smoking & kick it finally. I've attempted a couple of times before, give or take 4 spread out years. Now I'm on my 13th day of not smoking. I miss it alot, but I'm not getting any younger & I'm already a depressive. I want to live my life clean & sober. I feel confident that I won't smoke anymore, however, a visit to a pyschiatrist shortly will inevitably put me on some sort of anti-depressant. Now I ask, am I really going to be clean & sober?

I think smoking is bad and it should be illegal. There is no point in doing so because it'll just kead to more and more problems. If people smoke under depression, they should go to a physciatrist and talk about there problem before causing more and new problems.

Naria, no one can TELL you how to stop. It has to come from you. Your furniture, carpets walls etc all smell of smoke. You don`t notice it but others do. And your clothes too... Good luck.

I have smoked for 46 years and all I have seen to stop smoking is a lot of talk and very expensive drugs to help. I feel that it is time to get the tobacco companies out of the loop. They produce the products that are suppose to help you quit at a very large price. If the VA and insurance companies want us to quit, then the pay for the research to come up with something that will make quitting work. It is time for all the talk to stop. Give us some real help, and pay for it. Richard C. Demars 46 year smoker
