I don't know if I'd be able to give up but I'd try!

Only thing is, smoking keeps me chilled out, so I would have thought it helped?!
I'm confused!!!

I too am/was a smoker who is "on the wagon" for the UMPTEENTH time.
If you need help trying to quit, there is a new med coming out that I am willing to try but need to check out side effects and contraindictions. I've tried just about every over the counter product and am still trying to find one that works. I have willpower but only with food, cold turkey doesn't work well for me. Right now I'm eating the heck out of these cherries and hope I don't gain 50 pounds in the process. I'll follow up on the new smoke cessation med coming out and if you're interested I'll fill you in. Nick can pretty much tell you anything that triggers or irritates P and is very knowledgable about the treatment pro's and con's. If it weren't for him I would probably getting shots twice a week.
