quit smoking, we got so uptight. We would always have
a big fight, while this time it's different. We heard
about Smoking Control Centers of America. We figured, what can
we lose but a nasty heabit.

It really takes the agony out of quitting cigarettes. They
even guarantee it on you get your money back. We
figure we're saving about fifty dollars a month and our lives.

heart disease, and about three hundred thousand needless deaths each year.

kick it alone, call Smoking Control Centers of America. We
can help you quit our life. We guarantee you'll be

kick it alone, call Smoking Control Centers of America. We
can help you quit our life. We guarantee you'll be
