You have relapsed because you took at least one drag off a cigarette and it felt so good. It really can be hard to pass up the chance if you've been a smoker. Nicotine is extremely addictive and the action of smoking is behaviorally soothing. You'll have to catch yourself before taking another cigarette. You could try nicotine replacement therapy (patches and/or gum) and reminding yourself that you will be healthier if you quit.
You could also inquire with the American Cancer Society about their free phone hotlines and supplies for quitting.
Good luck!

Try getting a big fan and placing it by the window blowing OUT... this might help!! The only other suggestion that I have is to go to the apartment manager and complain but this may cause even more problems especially if the downstairs neighbor finds out b/c she might get mad. Have you tried talking to her at all? It might be uncomfortable but if you approach it in a nice way (and not point fingers) then you may be surprised! Maybe one day when you see her outside (not smoking) you could say something like, "Do you ever smell smoke when you have your windows open? I have been and my baby has been coughing a lot.. I was just wondering if you had smelled it too?" That way you arent placing blame on her but it might make her realize what she is doing and perhaps she will find a differant place to "light up." Just a thought!! Its a tough situation! Good luck!

You were probably lying to yourself about quiting or you did not quite long enough it takes 21 days for cigarettes to flush out of your system and up to 7 years for you lungs to fully recover

Because you keep 'trying'. 'Trying' gives you an out...if you eventually really do quit - as I did - you'll realize that when you 'try' and fail you can forgive yourself - over and over and over, with the stale excuse that "I tried". I consider myself pretty average in the 'resolve' department and I finally decided to quit buying, bumming and 'tapering-off' and flat-out not smoke - one day at a time and please believe me - it gets easier as you go-along 'til one fine day you know you'll never need to smoke another puff and then you can begin mentally kicking your own **** for all that wasted lung and money and start fighting the urge to proselytize...like this! Good luck

Cause there is nothing like taking a drag off a cigarette... seriously, it happened to me after 10 yrs....I think the brain really stores memories of stuff like that...I just basically gave in...but fight the power!!!!

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Prozac treats that.

Nicotene is very addictive and even though you've quit, it can take weeks to fully rid it's effects. It's one of the hardest addictions to quit--they say nicotene is even more addictting than heroine!
I know it's hard to quit, but keep trying! You can do it!

Because, as humans, we tend to do things that relieve stress....I quit smoking for 2 years and started again (pretty silly when I think about it).... When it is our time to TRULY stop, we'll know.....
