Quit now. Like today. It won’t be easier when you are dealing with all the new baby problems, crying jags and loooong sleepless nights. Get the worst out of the way before that baby gets here
Thanks for the support, every little bit helps.
I’ve quit twice before. For a year each time.
Yeah, I know. But this will be the last time, I swear!
I’m confident I can do the quitting, though it won’t be easy or fun. It would appear the staying quit, is the hard part, for me.
Oh, and I will be reading the book again, I’ll get it out this very evening.
If you have been chewing sugar free gum or eating sugar free mints, the sorbital might be causing your “stomach bug”. Even a small amount gives me that problem of which you speak.
Nope, no gum or mints, and my boyfriend had a similar bug earlier in the week…Is sorbitol what they used to put in Velamints?
My advice is don’t focus on yourself. If you want to smoke go ahead and enjoy yourself, but if you want to quit smoking do it for those who you’re gonna leave behind.
Put your family, spouse, kids or even your cat ahead of yourself and realize that when you’re no longer around to help them their lives will be all that much harder.
No it won’t make quitting any easier, but it will give you perspective, which helps you cope with the discomfort
Good luck and remember if you fail, so what? People fail all the time, failing to quit smoking is no reason not to try again
I cut out a few A’s, for aesthetic purposes. I think the original sense of the OP is still preserved.

Some friends of mine have quit smoking with the ecigarette.
Seems to me you are just quitting one addiction for another. But they feel they are much better off with the ecigarette than with a real one. Also, looks like some work and expense are involved.
They do smell alot better anyway and claim to feel healthier.
The illness you are experiencing could be from withdrawals of smoking.
Anyway, here is a link to a forum they sent me to learn about how to quit smoking and about the ecig.

Hope this will help.
I quit cold turkey 12 years ago. Don’t give up, you can do it!
Stay strong people… You can do it.
I quit cold turkey about six months ago (or so). Haven’t looked back.
One thing I always use to motivate myself for lots of different things is this phrase: “You can do it. Others before you have done it and survived, so you can do it too.”
Whatever. It works for me. Keep trying, everybody! And good luck to you!
That giant Thud you just heard was me falling off the wagon
Well, you managed to quit before, you can do it again. Just take it one day at a time afterwards.
Good luck and strength!
Huh, whaddya know - she did spell AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH wrong. 
So you had a relapse - what else has changed? Did the reasons you want to stop smoking disappear? I suggest you just get right back on it and carry on from here.
Yeah, I’m not much of a speller XD
Um… sort of, it’s complicated, I’m still trying, but, it’s really frikkin hard
I’m not trying to be mean or snarky - have you ever gotten anything in your life worth getting that wasn’t hard? The really good stuff usually doesn’t come easy.
Look at it this way…
the sooner you stop, and the longer you can stay stopped, the sooner your living room furniture will stop stinking of stale tobacco!
I know several people who realized they had become ex-smokers on the day the found themselves thinking “what is that awful smell?” and then realized it was the stuck-stale-smoke scent of their furniture. Even if you do not smoke inside the house, the smell does get there through contact with your body and clothing.
That’s true, but I don’t really want to quit very badly right now, and that makes it frigging near impossible.
Well, I guess all I can do is wish you the best, and hope that smoking doesn’t kill you before you do decide to quit.
If any other thing in your life exerted as much control over your behaviour as smoking does, say a boss, or a boyfriend or a teacher, you’d be fighting it tooth and nail, day and night, without end, until you regained control.
It’s something to think about!
I do appriciate the support you guys… ya’ll are the best… I decided to quit on a sudden impluse and I need a better plan, that is why I’ve been having such a hard time, so if I sounted snarky, I’m really sorry!
I read it three times. I quit three times, but this was the only time over a few months.
Sometimes it takes a while for stuff to sink in.
