Also? Quitting smoking appears to increase your risk of developing diabetes: "Smokers are on average 30 per cent more likely than non-smokers to develop type 2 or adult-onset diabetes. Now a study of 10,892 adults over 10 years has found that, in the first six years after giving up, former smokers are 70 per cent more likely than non-smokers to develop the disease." Good Lord, next they're going to tell us that smoking actually cures certain kinds of cancers. I'm gonna light up two at the same time right now!

Won't do much for your fingertips though.
I'm interested in seeing a medical study of my old roommate's "burn out the infection" theory of cold-and-flu treatment.
Yes, it cures you of all the cancer you would have gotten had you lived longer (I know, ex-smokers are the worst).
Is that doctor-shirt wearing man proffering the Lucky Strikes supposed to look like FDR?
I'm assuming this is because people quit smoking and then start eating a bunch of crap.
Bingo!
Yeah, they're always like "suck on a piece of candy whenever you feel like lighting up!"
Exactly! People have to do something to satiate their oral fixations. I'm not sure Ho Hos are preferable to Luckys.
My boyfriend satiates my oral fixations, heyo!
I totally started smoking again 'cause I got fat after I quit. Fact!
Perfectly acceptable.
Yes! Nicotine (like all stimulants) is an appetite suppressant.
I was skinny when I smoked. And now ... no so much.
Eh, big deal. I haven't had a cigarette in more than two weeks since I went to the patch. The only problem is not every box of Lucky Charms comes with a patch inside.
