Q: I have tried to quit smoking several times over the years, but have never had success. What can I do?

--Lenny G., New York

A: Smoking used to be cool. We didn't know it caused lung cancer, one of the most horrible ways to die. That was about 50 years ago, so it's time to get with it, and quit! A helpful book on the subject is The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, by Allen Carr. The premise of the book is that you become willing to see yourself as a nonsmoker. Bathe your self-image in an aura of white light, and see your healthy lungs, smell your sweet breath, feel your freedom from those cancer sticks. Don't guilt-trip yourself. Just make a commitment and a plan. Remind yourself of reasons to quit:

* You'll cough less.

* You'll smile more.

* Your food will taste better.

* You'll be less likely to have a heart attack.
