    Ewwww nooooo!
    I smoked for about 25yrs
    On New Year's Day 2016 I decided enough was enough - best thing I ever did.
    It's such a ridiculous habit!
    Smoking won't make you less stressed or help you in any way - only negatives come from smoking.

    I quit pretty much all drinking. I quit because I would feel stressed, go home, drink a couple glasses of wine, go to bed. I'd wake up stressed. Those vices don't fix anything at all. They add to the problem. I gained a bunch of weight and slept badly from drinking. You'll feel crappy for smoking again and then need to quit again. How much would that suck on top of the stress you already have? Smoking, drinking, compulsive shopping, etc. do not fix anything. Hang in there. Go for a walk. Talk to a friend. Do something that will make you feel better long-term.

    Please don't start smoking again. Please.

    I watched my mother waste away and die due to small cell lung cancer. It was a horrible painful death. I now suffer from PTSD due to it as I was her caregiver. So think not only of your own health, but what your family would have to deal with.
