Is there a best way to quit smoking? (That's Fit)

Nov 17th 2006 10:13AM I know a lot of people who have quit cold turkey (myself included) by reading The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. Best of all, it costs only three packs of cigarettes!

Ask Engadget: What's the best wireless router? (Engadget)
