Letter #1

Just thought I'd let you know I appreciate your non-judgmental approach.

8 years ago I stopped smoking for 2 years, my initial motivation was the

evidence I unearthed re: the subterfuge and profits of the tobacco

industries.  

   

It's more helpful to those of us who smoke, and are trying to stop, to be

given factual, useful information.  I'm wearing a nicotine patch today, and

haven't smoked since last night.  There is no right or wrong way for

everyone, each of us needs to do what works.  Period.  Heaping shame and/or

guilt on smokers exacerbates the situation, much the same as ridiculing obese

people.  



Keep up the good work!
