Hey Pam,
Here's something I never told you. I wouldn't marry a smoker so Ken quit. Pretty much cold turkey. After a few weeks the doctor gave him a tranquilizer patch for 4 days and then he was through. You know it is not easy but not smoking is so good for your body, skin and a lot of other things.
I am sending you some strength so go for it. Please don't suck your thumb until it feels better.
