I was gonna say DrSkipper, that if your smoking is picking up, be on alert. I know you've said before that you are a very occasional smoker. So do be weary if you intend to keep it that way. If you noticed yourself saying more frequently " oh I feel like a smoke " or worse " I need a smoke" then time back off.

I started out with my friends, very occasional, then alone here and there, then more and more till I couldn't resist the urges.

What does suck is that a lot of the smoking cessation products are antidepressants. So if you are Bipolar and cannot handle antiD's, those are out of the picture. I have tried a few and got manic from them even with a stabilizer. I'm seriously considering hypnosis even tho the thought gives me the total creeps.

You probably feel guilty because you are aware of the negative health implications. Hard to ignore what you know is true. You are also helping pollute the environment. Not just the air, where do cigarette butts go when thrown on the ground? They get into our water systems, lakes ect. Plus smoking is not publicly tolerated anymore, for good reasons.
