Hey that's great news! SO far today I haven't had one, but I did crash and buy nicotine lozenges. I have a pack of smokes but I left it in the trunk of my car...hopefully these lozenges will work for this last little bit!

Someone told me there is sugar in cigarettes so I am not sure if this is my body tricking me into consuming sugar. I just need some encouragement from ex smokers/low carbers and some ideas to get started. I have quit before and know if I can just jump this initial hurdle I will be off and running. Anyone have some magic words or advice to help? I sure appreciate all of your help in improving my health and overall well being.

All I can tell you is take it one day at a time. When I quit smoking 15 or so years ago (September 1994) I incorporated exercise to help me through it. I walked and swam a LOT.
