Can I continue to smoke cigarettes on this program?

We’ve heard it all before – cigarettes have absolutely no value whatsoever and are responsible for heart disease, lung cancer, and emphysema. Here’s one more – it does NOT help you lose weight, or keep your hands busy so you don’t eat sweets and the like. There is no reason for you to smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or chew tobacco. If you are a parent and love your children, then QUIT, because the jury is still out on second-hand smoke, plus imagine the role model you are portraying for them. Nicotine is one of those habits that is extremely addicting, and some say even harder to quit than drugs – but make no mistake: nicotine IS a drug, and it has no part in your life. Before you start any weight loss plan, including this one, see your doctor about a smoking cessation plan that will work for you.
