Addiction To Legal Smoking Should Be Stopped Immediately?
if a loved one is addicted to this new supposedly legal smoke and they are trying to quit but do not think they can do it just cold turkey would it be wise if the substance was limited over a Britain time period to slowly come off of it? Or should it just be stopped all at once?
