I smoked for about 17 years until April, 2003. It is hard to quit, but it gets a little better each day. What spurred me to finally quit was I noticed that I was short of breath after doing hardly anything, and since I was 35, they wouldn't let me take oral contraceptives that contained estrogen anymore! I had some help though, I was taking Wellbutrin, and using the nicotine patch. I ate lots of sugarless candy, and even chewed on stick cinnamon! Since I've never quit before, I can't say whether or not they helped, or how much. Luckily, I don't live with a smoker, but almost everyone else I know and spend time with is one. Sometimes I think the only thing that keeps me from going back is that I DO NOT EVER WANT TO HAVE TO QUIT AGAIN!!! Besides, I think my husband and son would kill me...
Anyway, I hope your husband supports you in this, and I'm rooting for you!
