Help a bunch of quitters.

By jstemwedel on April 21, 2009.

Noted ScienceBlogs commenter DuWayne Brayton has started a new blog to aid in kicking an old habit. In his welcome post, he writes:

I'm a soon to be ex-smoker. My name is DuWayne Brayton and I have been smoking for about sixteen years now. I've had enough - though embarrassingly, it has taken the price of tobacco doubling, for me to decide to quit. I will move some of my other posts on smoking over, from my regular blog, but first, I am hoping to hear from you. I would really like to get some other smokers - current and ex, to post their stories.

While I have never had a tobacco addiction myself, I've been close to a number of people who have, so I know that quitting can be a challenge. But I also know that it can be done. (Case in point: my father quit smoking, after 13 years with cigarettes, shortly after I was born. At least part of his motivation was what cigarettes took out of the household budget.)

So if you're looking to end a relationship with tobacco, or if you've done so already and want to share words of encouragement, head on over. It's a safe bet that DuWayne will keep you entertained.

Thanks for the link, I just posted my $.02 and hope something works for him. As a point of interest - the times now that I MOST want a smoke is while watching a Stop Smoking ad on TV... not sure why.

Thanks Janet, I hope to get some interest and it's looking like I am. Although I have actually had more people ask me to set up a psychoactive addiction blog, so they could contribute, than I have actual smokers who have said they would like to post at Quitters Blog.

I'm kind of geeked about it.
