    Thanks MFD,
    It was a bit confusing!

    Wonder what would happen if I ate a lot of cheese before bed as well? That could get really interesting! :eek:

    The patches are supposed to make you dream if you sleep in them too - keep threatening to stick one on my hubby (who has never smoked) in the night to see what happens!

    Hi everyone :wave:
    Recently discovered this thread and hoping for some help/advice/support.

    I started smoking 7yrs ago, then managed to quit in November 2005. However 7 month ago I started again. Really stupid...don't I know it. Now I'm having a hard time quitting again.
    I read the first couple of pages in this thread and tried a few of the help pages. I also ordered some materials and stuff through the post.
    Still I can't seem to find the strength to stop. It's so much harder this time.
    I should quit for so many reasons. I got two young children and are 6month pregnant with my 3rd.
    Only smoke 5-6 fags a day so it shouldn't be to hard. The problem is I can go most of the day without one, but when the evening comes, the children are in bed and I can sit down and relax I can't stop my self.
    This is usually the same time my husband comes home from work as well and he smokes. I tried to encourage him to quit and do it together but he finds it harder, he has smoked 20 a day for the last 13yrs.
    Got debt free last year and we now need the money for a new kitchen (ripped ours out last summer and have still not replaced it, and doing the dishes in the bathtub upstairs for the last 8 month have not been fun) still all this is not big enough incentive for me to stop.

    The doctors are reluctant to help me this time since I'm pregnant, last time I did it with help of patches and it only took 2 weeks.
    I've tried to occupy my hands in the evenings, reading, knitting etc still nothing seems to work.
