Well, to me there are worse things that you can be doing to yourself. If you want to stop smoking, it should be because you want it and not because someone else to forcing it on you. Yea, it's not a pleasant habit to have but your brother throwing out your pack unless you quit cold turkey isn't gonna really help. I'm friends with a bunch of smokers and not one of them would be able to quit in that fashion.

Also, different brands burn differently. Marbs tend to burn quicker than say American Spirits. There are a lot of different factors, surprisingly enough.

Like I said, there are worse things in my own opinion. But if you wanna quit than I wish you the best of luck. =)
