Jan, I'm going to agree with everyone else. The urges seem to stay on. I have quit and come back many times now (no count). For a solid year I didn't smoke, decided I could bum one, just not buy my own and it started all over again. I smoked my last one yesterday and will give them up again. I realize I'm torturing myself at this point, especially since I know the distraction techniques to help me quit...just always end up in some moment of weakness or another.

I think there should be 12 step programs (maybe there are?) because when I'm not smoking, I have a visceral LOVE for it upon seeing someone else smoking. It is crazy!

Stay strong. There is always thinking about how awful smoking can make you feel (the after-effects).
