Hi Tom, the studies I read did not suggest women were less successful when quitting, just that it was more difficult for them to quit, because of our metabolism. We just have to try harder!!!!! This being said ,I agree it's difficult for everyone and everyone is different and unique. Congratulations to all quitters, we are all heroes for sure.

Well said Me Ed, but I can't help myself. Marie, I read Dr Perkins study observations and they were far from conclusive. He was speculating based on a study of a limited number of cases that seemed to suggest that women are less successful at quitting. Have you seen this one?: Do men outperform women in smoking cessation trials? Maybe, but not by much.Killen JD, Fortmann SP, Varady A, Kraemer HC. Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California 94304-1885, USA. Using data from 4 smoking cessation trials conducted from 1988 to 2000, the authors investigated whether men are more successful than women in quitting smoking. Odds ratios indicated that the abstinence rates were not significantly different for men and women. Thus, there may be little value to diverting research funds from efforts to develop more effective treatments for both men and women to efforts to explain a very small gender effect associated with existing treatments. However, it may be appropriate to make gender comparisons for new therapies for nicotine dependence. The authors recommend against analyses of gender differences in studies that do not account for gender in their research designs. --------------------------------------- Obviously we all have our own opinions. I believe we all deserve a round of applause for facing this significant obstacle and winning.

My view is this: Generally when a man decides to make an important decision (such as quitting), he'll 'go it alone' A woman on the other hand, will want to discuss it thoroughly This probably explains why (im my opinion) the female/male split on the SSC is about 75%/25%. (having said this, I'm here every day!) I will not judge, but I feel that sometimes it is better not to analyse your quit too much, and when things get rough, think or do something else. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 586 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 17,580 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �4,395.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 94 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

I don't think it is easy for anyone, but lets give three cheers for all of us that are doing it.
