I smoked, on average, 25 cigarettes per day for 14 years. I quit 5 years ago, almost to the day. I had tried to quit a few times unsuccessfully. The gum, patches, cutting back.. Those attempts just prolong the cravings. Cold turkey is the only way to go. No more nicotine. It really only sucks for about 2 weeks. Its not as hard as you think.

If you look into the article it is self explanatory that mutation takes place with time and there is a particular area on the DNA

Ok. Well, those who are interested can have a look at the article.
