Well then take away cafine, sex, and gambling as well. ..... If you read the AA literature, Alcoholics Ananomous is meant to help one face their alcoholism and stop drinking.
"We knew that we could not DRINK safetly anymore"
I myself had both alcohol and drug problems, but I realized that throughout all of my addictions, alcohol was always the most prevalent.
AA is for people with drinking problems, alcohol is but a symptom of that disease. If people want a program to quite smoking, I am sure there is one out there, just like there is programs for Over eaters, gambling, sex, cocaine, etc. etc.
For those that do not like smoke in meetings, find a smoke-free meeting!! There are plenty out there.
Just my thoughts!
