Still smoking? Want to stop smoking but are afraid to give it up? Do you think you can't live without your nicotine fix every day? Believe me, I do know how you feel. I have been in the same position you are right now. My cigarettes were my life, in fact, they controlled everything I did. The first thing I did was light up in the morning, even before I had my first cup of coffee. Then I sipped and smoked just to get started on the day. Ahh..so good. Nicotine and caffeine just go together so well, don't they?

All these factors combined contribute to a shorter life expectancy for smokers: experts estimate that the life expectancy of smokers is reduced by about 10 years compared with nonsmokers.
