Ok, I joined this site a while back hoping to quit. I got myself a personal trainer and lost 35 pounds and told myself when I got to a certain weight that I would quit smoking. So here I am, discovered my blood pressure is high and refuse to get on medication. I think if I quit, my pressure will go down. Anyone know this. I need support on this site because of the fact that I'm a closet smoker, I have no support because not too many people know that I smoke!! Help... Think I will try the tapering off method. I know I smoke out of boredom and I'm more of a scheduled smoker... three in morning with coffee before I go to work, go to gym after work, then come home and have five or six before bed.....
