Many thanks to Terry Martin at About.com's Quit Smoking section for so generously featuring the essays Why I Quit Smoking and Quitting Isn't Tough on her site. I consider About.com's Smoking Cessation site to be one of the best resources out there. Terry puts a lot of time and effort into it, making sure they always have the latest articles, doing the blog and overseeing the forum, putting out an electronic newsletter, and so much more. Terry is always looking for QuitStories, so consider sending in yours.
