Thank you both for such helpful, information. I still think we should start a "Women who Kick Butt" campaign. We know that smoking is bad. There's no question that everyone should quit smoking. But it appears men, have a much easier time quitting then women do.
Don't know what the stats are but I bet, Virgina, you and Alison, can find them. Alison, you may already know the answers to all my questions.
Also, why do more women smoke then men? Is that even true?
Why do women have a lower success rate of quitting then men?
What happens with a woman's body that makes it harder for her to quit? Has to be chemical.
I'm sure part of it is the daily pressures we face as woman, moms, wives, caregivers etc...
Best advice of all is don't start smoking!! But if you do..cold turkey may be the way to go. If not, you should keep trying.
Who wants to help me start the "Women who Kick Butt" campaign?
You have to understand my passion..I lost my best friend to lung cancer. She smoked for years when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She quit smoking 20 years earlier. One day she got sick and six weeks later she was gone.
