I want to do this i need to lose waight but need to quit so i can exersize enough to do some good. my husband has had 3 lung operations and it makes me feel like a louse for smoking.

Read Read Read  don't let the 23rd just sneak up on you and take you off guard.

I too had a list of things I HAD to do...quit smoking, exercise, diet, loose wieght, stop biting my nails, etc...  Smoking is going to KILL YOU!  Start with that one.  Once I had that one under my belt I was able to move on to others.  It gave me the strength and determination to move on.  It gave me self-confidence.   I am not only trying to scare you, I'm being a realist.  You don't want four lung operations.  Protect Your quit.
