I started smoking when I was 12 ... and I smoked for the next 35 years - up to 3 packs a day. I tried everything to stop - the classes; the patch; the gum; accupuncture; hypnosis - nothing worked.

Then I got in a stop-smoking study at Yale ... they gave us Xanax. We took it for two weeks - and then stopped smoking. I TRULY never had a pang. It was so damned easy to quit. And I very very very rarely ever get the urge. In fact - I've become one of those loathesome ex-smokers - I can't STAND to be around the smell.

If anybody wants to quit, I really recommend getting a prescription for the Xanax - and build it up in your system before you stop smoking. It genuinely works.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
