Who actually wants smokers to quit smoking?
Recently, I decided I should quit. Knowing this would not be the easiest task, I thought I should easy my mind into the idea. For the most part this has worked smashingly up until now. I have weened two cigarettes off my daily habit for a week, and then repeated said process the following week. Currently I have taken myself from a near pack a day habit to 4 little cigs. a day, and am beginning to feel the full affects of withdrawal.
So I thought I would be smart. Seeing as the next week I am only allotted 2 smokes a day (and then really what's the point) I thought I would proceed by getting the last step of the NicoDerm-CQ patch from the store.
As I proceeded to the pharmacy I just stared at the shelf. There was the first step, and the second, but where could that final phase, the glorious number three be. I asked the clerk and not even coming to talk to me, but yelling across counters she replied, "Yeah there are three steps, but we only have what we have out there."
Really people, really. I mean for Gods sake, you can carry every glorified brand of cigarettes known to man in a store, tax us at ridiculous rates for each individual death stick, but you can't provide the final step in a quit system! So really what do you want from me.
Luckily, I have a nice coffee shop near by that allows me to have the best coffee instead of running home and smoking the whole damn pack I have sitting at home. So I will say thanks to Coffee Noir for their coffee and understanding (their baristas are the best almost like a friendly bartender who listens to all your sorrows and woes).
