A dear friend of mine has been struggling to quit smoking for quite some time now. He has gone through numerous programs, with support from friends, and still has not been able to kick the habit.
His latest idea, which I have concerns about, is trying this new electric cigarette to see if he can wean himself down. I’m not entirely convinced that it would work like that, but I need to do some research. At the very VERY least, it would reduce the offence to others around him, which is part of his reason to quit. I don’t think even his health is concerning him at this point, which really concerns me.
It has been a trying year for him, personally, which isn’t helping. Every time I think he has a handle on it, he goes through chain smoking spurts. It is so hard to watch your friend go through that, and be powerless to help.
Anyone have any recommendations? Have you helped a friend in the past quit smoking?
