@kowalski Good for you, so you have already been cutting back. How many cigarettes a day are you down to?
I went through over two packs a day when I was smoking but I don't actually how many cigarettes I was smoking because often I would light up and get busy and the cigarette would just burn out. That was way back in 1979, when I was still working.
My incentive was good, I was pregnant.

@kowalski- When I finally decided that I had messed around with quitting and it was time to get off the can I also set a date. Mine was a week. It gives you time to give yourself pep talks and think about all of the positive benefits. Yes, it's tough. I'm sure that you have handled tough things before. Depend on those as inspiration to get you through the difficult ones. How have you handled tough times before?

I’ll mark my calendar and give you a “ you can do it” that day! Because you can good luck
