I'll keep trying...but I make no promises. I swore that I would quit when the prices kept going up....didn't. I swore that I would quit when every ailment I have is blamed on smoking, including ingrown toenails....didn't. I swore that I would quit when my health insurance costs are 50% more because I smoke....didn't. So I don't know what would work.
