Gosh, Y, I'm really impressed! A week is very good!
I can empathize with the situation of your mother's diagnosis with pancreatic cancer, since my mother died of the same just two years ago, and I took care of her during her illness.
It sounds like you have the kind of willpower to succeed in this quit. I had to laugh, though, when I read you had "tried to quit 6 times". I tried to quit so many times, I lost count years and years ago. I did try all the over the counter as well as prescription (Chantix). I wanted to add here that Chantix really made me very anxious, and I had to stop it. The ecig is the only thing that has worked for me.
