For me quitting smoking was so easy , however i do appreciate it is not like that for everyone,but i do agree loosing weight is harder in the aspect that we have to eat to survive, therefore food cannot be eliminated from the house as say liquor or smokes can, however with smoking it is a chemical addiction that is the problem for many, each and everyone of us is different, we can only encourage people to quit and support them in their desire to do so, not everyone can do cold turkey, but if you can it is the best way in the end i think, as patches etc still are giving you a small intake of nicotine, just my thoughts on the subject, but yes smoking bans are fair IMO.
