You can do it! Just get past the cough and everything will be smooth sailing from there. I quit the first time for 7 years to the day and then quit pretty much cold turkey. I did smoke 2 cigs in this time and I was sitting with my doctor, who was writing something in my chart at that moment, and confessed to her. She hesitated writing but never looked up and started writing again and finished. When she got done, she pushed my chart away and and said to me, "Thank you for being honest but if you continue to smoke, we do not need to see each other anymore. We are working too hard to get you well for you to start smoking again." Haven't touch them since and hubby is a smoker!
I don't miss them at all, I feel better and I dont' stink all the time! lol
Best of luck to you!
