We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

"It can cost more to quit smoking than to continue puffing away on black-market cigarettes.

Australia's approach of heavily taxing cigarettes while failing to widely subsidise quit aids is working against those most in need of support, the authors of a University of Notre Dame paper claim.

Co-author Lisa Wood said she had spoken to heavy smokers who desperately wanted to quit, but were able to source illicit cigarettes cheaper than nicotine patches."
