Aileron roll, I'm not sure where Sprinfield is. If it is in the UK, it may be worth your while having a chat to your local GP/Practice nurse. Smoking cessation if a Government "biggy" at the moment, and there are lots of resources out there to help you.

As regards specific advise, try running a search in this forum (when working) using the key word "smoking." There have been some useful threads in the last 2-3 years.

You sound pretty keen to quit, which is essential if you are withdrawing from such a powerful drug such as nicotine. There are products available (again via the NHS), which can help overcome cravings, most are relatively safe, although, again, seek specific advice from a search. (Certain products can induce fits in some people, so obviously do not mix with piloting.)

Try and stay away from the "doom and gloom" brigade, as I suspect their advice will not be useful to you.

Good luck. Enjoy that last fag !

ps try quitline on 0800 169 0 169
