inches of snowfall., Winds blew up

Snow blowers are necessary to

Doomed : Not trying hard ,be-

• It was Mark Twain, I believe,
who said giving up smoking was
easy he'd done 'it hundreds of.
times.
Not so much giving It up, but
giving it up forever. That's the real
problem for cigarette addicts.'
I knoiv. I've quit for as long as
one whole. Year. The physical long-
ing for A deep draught, of com-
forting smoke goes away within h
few days; the smugness over new-
found virtue lasts a little longer.
But then comes the 'false 'sense of
security with which, months later,
you accept ``just one" cigarette
*because you believe you can' take
it or leave it.
Before You know it you're
hooked again.
That's why it's hard' for 'ine to
write this column. I have not
smoked a cigarette for two months.
I don't cough. I feel great. Food'
tastes better. And on top of all that
I've apparently' added about ' 10
days to my lifespan, for each month

dollars a week to my bank account.
Each smoker has to decide
whether to ease out of the habit
gradually, smoking fewer cigarettes
each day, or to quit outright, cold
turkey.
Each has to decide how to cope
with .the vacuum created by giving
up smoking. This may mean chew-
ing gum, or cutting out (at least for
a while) items previously •insepar-.
able from cigarette smoking, such
as coffee.
But all , would-be giver's up of the
cigarette habit 'those, anyway,
who want to stop smoking forever
