Hi Paul, Mark, wheelchair and all: Does anyone know about that new drug that they have been amortizing on TV all the time that takes away your desire to smoke. Is Chantix covered by insurance? Two of my aides do smoke and I wondered if you could get it anywhere without insurance, or does anyone know the cost of it? Just wondering. Thank you for your information. Good luck to you all. Dana

I've been smoking off and on since my accident in 99. I'll quit for a few months or maybe weeks and go back and I quit for a year and a half and one day had a few beers and a smoke and that ended that. Right now I'm still smoking and like you know how stupid it is and when people ask why I don't have a good answer except I've tried and that's a bs answer because I know I can quit I just have way too much spare time it seems even with a job. I am getting ready to quit "Again" and I just hope I make it this time. Smoking also causes a lot of pain but heck I'm used to pain! If I die from cancer at least quadriplegia didn't kill me.

No one, including me needs to tell you the natural dangers or the added effects on your quad body from smoking. Your doctor and nurse have covered that already. What you need from us is understanding and support in your efforts to achieve your goals. Best Wishes ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
