Smoking socially is just as unhealthy as all of the time - same risk for cancer and all - just as bad. It is not that hard for some people when they make up their minds - my dad just quit after smoking for over 40 years so it can be done cold turkey. Just make up your mind to do it - you say that your husband won't get you pregnant until you quit but that should be what you feel as well - babies are born with tons and tons of horrible mental and physical deformities when they are exposed to tobacco smoke.
You can't get pregnant and still smoke so you and your husband should both want that. The best success is when you take Zyban, wear the patch and/or chew that gum. There are also smoker support groups, hotlines and websites with tips. Try to keep your mouth and hands busy cause that is what will make you miss it the most. I have heard cold turkey is the best though - when you are done, you are done. Let him know that he should quit too - especially since he does not smoke all of the time..then why bother?? The risks are the same.
I have also just heard of a new shot that your doctor would give you and the success rate is supposed to be very high. So - call your primary and ask him about it. And - hypnosis works for some- abour 4 or 5 of my friends were successful but they were open to it - which is the most important thing.
Make a list of reasons that you smoke and want to and a list of the reasons to quit so you can see how much the benefits outweight the risks.

Make a realistic plan about quitting. Make small milestones for yourself. Day 3 of no smoking buy yourself something special. Day 7 do something else, 1 month do something bigger. I have quit for over 10 years but unfortunately, I had a very stressfull situation happen about 9 months ago and I started smoking again. I know if I wouldn't have justified it in my mind that it was okay, I woudln't have started again. Just make some goals. Maybe not smoking for 5 hours at a time and work it up an hour a day. That really worked for me. Inow let me take my own advice...)

since you smoke that much everyday, your body got adjusted having these poisons running ur body. That's why people with more serious drug problems can actually die by quiting abruptly. You hav to take decrease your amount of cigarettes maybe every few weeks or whatever you're comfortable with. The reason why you were coughing and stuff (tryign to not smoke) was because your body was so used to having 2-5 cigarettes a day. So each week you should decrease slowly from 2-4cigarettes, then another few weeks, 2-3, then so on.

There are many ways to quit smoking. Different approaches work for different people.
My father quit smoking last year after he was recommended a product by Rick Beneteau.
He gave it a try and he managed to quit smoking within one month. Our family is very proud of him because his health has greatly increased (my mom especially, because now she has more money to buy more fancy shoes, lol).
Anyways, I hope this product can help you too.

Have you tried discussing this with your Dr. They can prescribe medications to help. With the right medications and some of that commit chewing tablets, it will make things easier. Check with your Dr. first though. There are so many different quit smoking aids out there to choose from, they will pick the best for you.

Every time you want one..put it off by 5 minutes.. and a week later 10 minutes.. and then the 3rd week 15 minutes.. its gets easier and easier.. Get the patch for the last of the cravings at night after dinner or in the am.. but it makes it much easier.. and chew on pretzels

IF YOU WORK IN A NO SMOKING ZONE, HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE NON-SMOKERS,DO NOT CARRY ANY MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AND RETURN STRAIGHT HOME FROM WORK FOR A MONTH OR SO AND ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE NO CIGARETTES AT HOME. KEEP DOING HEAVY ENGAGING WORK AND BUILD YOUR PSYCHE UP STRONGLY AGAINST THE THOUGHT OF SMOKING. YOU WILL SUCCEED DEFINITELY. IF YOU ARE WORKING IN A SMOKING ZONE ASK YOUR BOSS TO HELP YOU BY MAKING IT A NO SMOKING ZONE. REMEMBER WHERE THERE IS 'NO WILL CIGARETTE' there is a way!
