  I don't lecture folks on doing the vices (smoking, drinking, etc.).
They know the risks and the consequences, and only they can make the
choice to quit...as hard as it may be.

  I'm reminded of an old B.C. comic strip, where one character says
to the other "I've discovered something about the nicotine patches.
If you roll them too tight, they won't light". <G>
