awww thanks Nightingale!!! Last time I quit for an extended period of time, I had 2 friends who were reformed smokers who I'd call for support (one was a microbiologist at a lung research lab). I remember they would talk to me very gently, like I was a toddler hehe. It helped!! Now there are hotlines and I have called at least once!! A BIG help

.
I've been smoking since I was a kid. 11 and that's how I quit the thumb-sucking

. Thought maybe if I started sucking my thumb again, would help me quit but my thumbs still hurt

. And besides, it took me a long time to improve my speech and get rid of the lisp
