Several years ago I heard of a study done in New York City on people who had quit both cigarettes and heroin. These individuals came mostly from the prison system, I believe, but could have been just out of heroin de-tox centers. Anyway, when asked by the researchers which was harder to kick, the UNIVERSAL reply was cigarettes! Now, this is all in the back of my consciousness, and I don't have any references. If anyone knows about this, or has just heard of it, or best of all can cite references, let us know. Brian Diehm Tektronix
