Once an addict, always an addict. :-)

Actually, not that bad. If I remember correctly, the nasty stuff quits after a few weeks. But you'll still commonly get urges for months. And years later you can still get an ocassional one. You're body remembers that nicotine and wants it. Hang on. They'll go away.

And pay attention to what Solon said about repeated quitting. If you fall off the wagon, get back on when you can. Each time you try to quit and fail, you teach yourself another trick you use to get get yourself smoking again. When you know it's there, you can defeat it.

Eventually you get far enough that the addiction loses its grip.

Oh, yeah. It helps if you give up sex at the same time. :-)
