Cub Mac sent me this comment about his cirepxenee with statins.I can definitely relate to this one as I had calf and ankle swellingsecondary to crestor which basically went away when i stopped the drug.Not a good thing especially when you bring it to the doc's attentionand he still missed it

everyone that smokes WANTS to quit. I've soekmd for 30+ years, averaging about 1/3 pk per day. I enjoy it and, like my father, have no intention nor desire to quit. However, I completely appreciate an option to how invasive smoking can be to people around me as well as a way to cut down on the smell of smoke in my home and car.

Positive thinking and self blieef can be hard to achieve, but can make a massive difference. I don't think there's any shame in using something like nicotine patches to help along the way though you've still achieved your goal, just used something (legal) to help you get there. Surely taking any legal advantage you can get is a good thing? Especially when the outcome is as important as stopping smoking?
