I am still in a right frame of mind and my ears have lost no power of audibility, then it must be the gravity of the situation that has shocked me, shaking me violently off my reverie.

20) Children and adolescents who are active smokers will have increasingly severe respiratory illness, as they grow older

Ways To Quit Smoking
It is not easy to quit smoking. It requires great effort on a smoker's part to overcome nicotine addiction. There are some who stub out a cigarette, and never pick up another one. But these are very few. The others need support, both emotional and medical. There are several aids that have been developed to help smokers give up the habit. The Nicotine Replacement Therapy, also known as NRT, is one of the most effective ways to quit smoking. Almost one in every two smokers succeeds to give up smoking using this therapy. The number of relapses too is on the lower side. Nicotine Replacement Therapy treats your psychological cravings by providing small quantities of nicotine to the body, once you quit smoking. The nicotine products are available in the form of gums, lozenges, patches and inhalers. You can take any one of them to meet your nicotine need. As your urge to smoke recedes you can reduce the dosage till you find no further urge to smoke. Another option is to go for pharmaceutical products like Zyban and Verenicline. Zyban creates a false sense of well being in the person which is similar to the feeling that you get when you are smoking. In this case also the dose is reduced over a period making withdrawal symptoms bearable. Zyban, however, should be used only under medical supervision. People suffering from fits, hypertension and those who have had strokes or heart attacks earlier should avoid taking this medicine. Scientists are now trying to develop a vaccine to cure nicotine addiction. The vaccine called NicVAX is currently under trial. It works by blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain. Combination therapy is another method that is gaining popularity. This therapy can be customized to suit your preferences. The counseling is especially useful to...
