Linnea, that's kinda how I did it. Started rolling my own with American Spirit tobacco about 8 years ago, and did cut the amount I was smoking about in half (without the additives that make them burn faster). I lost my smokers cough and quit having the pain in my chest. I do think that made quitting easier. I've been really stressed and kind of depressed lately, so I have really been having the worst cravings so far. I keep telling myself I need to survive to see all these newly planted irises form clumps!
