Anger and Quitting Smoking

Quit Smoking Resources
Grieving and Withdrawal The stages of grief and loss can be somewhat similar to the stages of quitting smoking. It is extremely common to become angry or even enraged, or to experience intense bursts of anger when you are quitting smoking.

Ban on Rockville’s Menu: No More Smoking on Outdoor Patios

Quit Smoking Resources
Following all of the recent smoking bans we’ve reported, one can say without exaggeration that the smokers’ world is shrinking. First, smoking was banned in public outdoor spaces; then in public indoor spaces and workplaces. Parks, recreational areas, and stadiums followed, but that isn’t the end to the legal push for a smoke-free environment. Eventually, even patios Texans tried to keep as smoking friendly places, were forced to accept the new mandate. While outdoor dining areas and sidewalk tables are considered to be public outdoor spaces, some restaurants and bars still offer shelter for smokers to light up. Dining and Smoking? I Don’t Think So!

Electronic Cigarettes (Disposables): What They Are, How They Work, and Why They’re So Controversial

Quit Smoking Resources
Disposable electronic cigarettes — often called disposables, puff bars, or single-use vapes — have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the nicotine industry.

Disposable e-cigarettes are small, pre-charged vape devices filled with e-liquid (often with high nicotine salts). They are designed for one-time use. Once the liquid or battery is depleted, the entire device is thrown away.
