Message-ID: <1951@hplabsc.UUCP> Date: Thu, 14-Jun-84 13:18:36 EDT Article-I.D.: hplabsc.1951 Posted: Thu Jun 14 13:18:36 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 22-Jun-84 04:09:05 EDT Organization: Hewlett Packard Labs, Palo Alto CA Lines: 20 Forgot to mention how I managed to quit smoking. First, I was mentally preparing myself for some time by thinking about quiting. Then one february I caught the flu. I felt bad enough, what with sore throat, weakness, etc. that the urge for a smoke was greatly diminished. So I didn't and that was the end! By the way, even though I smoked 2+ packs of regular Camels (mmm they were good!) I never once had any withdrawal symtoms! Occasion- ally I reached for a cigarette automatically.
