Hi Josie, I can always tell when a friend is trying to quit smoking. They always smoked Marlboro Reds; then I see them one day and they are smoking Marlboro Lights; or I see them one day and they are smoking a cig that is advertised as "no additives", like American Spirits, or Winston LIghts. The next time I see them, if they are smoking an Ultra Light, I will bring up the subject and give them the website address for the scc! new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 255 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,120 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,275.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 35 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Myth: Light cigarettes are a good alternative to regular ones. Fact: Many smokers choose �low-tar,� �mild,� �light,� or �ultra-light� cigarettes because they think that these cigarettes may be less harmful to their health than �regular� or �full-flavour� cigarettes. Although smoke from light cigarettes may feel smoother and lighter on the throat and chest, light cigarettes are not healthier than regular cigarettes. The truth is that light cigarettes do not reduce the health risks of smoking. The only way to reduce a smoker�s risk, and the risk to others, is to stop smoking completely. Josie
