Yeah and they will tell you than Chantix makes you crazy. I used it and quit.

I used Chantix to quit too..... Without it, I would not have been able to kick the habit.

"I quit in august 2007 after four decades. Just didn’t ever have the first one each day...I still want one but it’s a lot easier now."

Congratulations! I quit in October 2006 -- cold turkey -- and haven't had a smoke since. Smoked menthols too! I don't think that had a darned thing to do with quitting. This article is more racial whining.

MMMmmmmm. Nothing like a Newport and a Colt45 after a dinner of fried chicken and watermelon.

THey are racist. When’s the last time you saw a black cigarette?

[Levante]

Good one!

But then, I’ve never seen a white cigar! :)

Menthol cigarettes are not more toxic than regular cigarettes, but the mint flavor and cooling sensation makes them more enticing and easier to smoke, paving the road to nicotine addiction.

This is fine journalism.
