Keep up the good work, and remember that as tough as it is to quit, the payoff in the end will definitely be worth it.
I quit back in '79-'80, but at the time my habit was only a pack a week, so stopping wasn't as difficult, but the addictive nature is strong.
When I was "finally" over it, I felt great. Mind you, at only a pack a week, I had already noticed a drop in my stamina and endurance and was getting winded doing physical activities that I had loved for years.
That was my "wake up call". I hated not being able to do what I loved due to the effect of smoking. (All this in my late teens!)
The best advice I could give would be to keep at it. You may have a "relapse" but hey, you didn't start smoking 2+ packs right from the start, so quitting is never as quick or as easy as it is described.
Good Luck and Good Health to all!
