Quitting is like a disease that swiftly metastasizes throughout your body. Once it infiltrates your system and manages to gain a tiny foothold, it is almost as difficult to expunge from your body as tuberculosis or pancreatic cancer–and, yes, it is every bit as devastating and debilitating in the long run as those better-known, fearsome organic monsters. The aforementioned maladies kill from within, while “Quitting syndrome”–over time–destroys from without.
