A Number of devices are available to help in the effort to quit smoking.

Nicotine patches are

small, nicotine-containing adhesive substances that are applied to the skin. The nicotine is slowly
absorbed through the skin and enters the blood stream. Over time, the nicotine dose is lessened and
eventually the craving for nicotine is alleviated (diringankan). Nicotine gum works in a similar manner,
providing small doses of nicotine when chewed.
The benefits of smoking cessation (berhenti) include the immediate reduction of health hazards
for the smoker, lower health insurance premiums, and easier admission to social activities and institutions
that ban smoking. Nonetheless, to quit smoking is difficult, most likely because smokers crave the effect
of the nicotine in the smoke. In a 1988 report, the U.S. surgeon general declared nicotine to be an
addictive (kecanduan) drug comparable to other addictive substances in its ability to induce (mendorong)
dependence (ketergantungan). The report also called the monetary (berhubungan dengan keuangan) and
human costs far greater than those attributable (yang disebabkan) to cocaine, alcohol, or heroin. Some
recent evidence supports this claim, indicating that the overall mortality (kematian) attributable to tobacco
smoking in the United States is about 20 times that of the mortality due to all other addictive drugs
combined.

Taamenang was a poor African farmer; weighed down by his worries. One morning he decided to
carry all his problems to the Almighty God to see whether He could offer a solution. He gathered them
up, tied them up in a bundle and carried them up to the house of God. Timidly he knocked on the sacred
door. Lightning flashed out and the door flew open, nearly throwing Taamenang to the ground. A voice
said from within, "Come in, Mr Taamenang!"
The man struggled in with the bundle on his head.
"What do you want?" asked the voice.
"Almighty God, I know that with You all things are possible. Please reduce my problems to suit my size.
My problems are too many and too great for me."
Almighty God laughed and the laugh sounded like thunder. Then He said in a very calm, soothing voice,
"My son, step out of the door of this house and throw your bundle down into the valley!"
The man quickly did as God had ordered him.
"My child," came the voice again, "it is forbidden for any living person to be without problems, so go
down into the Valley of Tears and choose a bundle that suits your size."
Down in the Valley of Tears, Taamenang examined the many bundles that had been thrown there.
After spending the whole day weighing all of them, he discovered the lightest one and thought that it
would be quite suitable for him. He carried it up to the door of the Almighty and stood smiling and
waiting. Soon the door flashed open and Taamenang walked in. Then, he spoke delightedly to God,
"Almighty, I have found the lightest bundle for myself."
 God replied with a deep booming laugh that shook the whole house to its very foundations. "My
son," He said to Taamenang, "the bundle you have selected is the very same bundle that you threw down
into the valley this morning."
