Big tobacco has hit upon a brilliant strategy. Reynolds American Inc, maker of Camel cigarettes, is planning to buy a company that's helping people stop smoking
The manufacturer of cancer sticks is apparently in talks to buy Swedish maker of nicotine gum Niconovum AB. Now what could that mean?

  Niconovum says its products are designed to give people better control of their cravings. What's in it for the tobacco company. Cigarette sales around the world have

fallen 10%, and while the tobacco companies are still making profits off making people sick, it's a declining market. Buying Niconovum would give Reynolds access to the nicotine products market, like special chewing gum.

And because it will keep pushing cigarettes, it will be able to service its customers at both ends.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
