Welcome. You can quit smoking. I was a pack a day smoker then started having some problems with my lung. I had to quit and I knew when I did my weight was going to shoot up, which it did. I quit 11/30/07, the day before my twins' 19th birthday. Chantix worked for me, but it has some side effects.
Once I quit, I knew I had to do something about my weight, so I looked into surgery. I had RNY on 11/4/08 and have lost 91 pounds. It was so worth it. I have my life back. I feel like a normal person again. I used to think it was hopeless. I thought I'd never be able to give up my vices (smoking and overeating). But I did it and I'll never be that way again. You can do it too.
