Smoke Free Campus:
"I've been smoking for 39 years.
Smokers who want to abstain while on campus or quit totally can try Champix or just keep busy. Go for a walk when you feel like smoking. Brush your teeth. Drink lots of water.
I quit smoking for 2 months in Jan. 2008, but started again - it is very difficult to quit. I would like to quit smoking completely because of the monetary and personal cost - I lost my father to lung cancer."
