Hey Rob, what she means by getting you back in shape is lots of exersize, and Chinese food...healthy food. Looks like your going to be on the lettuce diet for a while (rabbit food). I don't know how much they smoke over there at the time, or even how much a pack of ciggies is, and they are proabley chinese tobbaco. Willy probably knows the price, even though he don't smoke.
I went to a no-smoke clinic, and even though this sounds strange, it was suggested that you could chew tobbaco (like coppenhagan) and it would give you that nicotine intake you crave. This of course is the theory, before the advent of chewing gum, patches, etc. which are also loaded with nicotine. I will try the patch for a while and see if that works for me. Only bad thing about patchs, is that if you lite one up, while wearing the patch, you stand a good chance of having a heart attack. With this threat hanging over my head, I of course don't lite a ciggerett up, perhaps its the threat that makes me think. But the patch does take away the urge, I can tell you truthfully that it does.
Perhaps, I didn't use them long enough in the hospital. Another thing is what are you going to do with all the spare time. You see we lite up to kill time or to kill the boredom of waiting or because there is nothing to do. Keep busy is what they told me, and it will keep your thoughts centered on what you are doing, and not the sigs, then follow up with the patch and you can get through it. At least that is what they told me at the clinic I went to. Oh and I almost forgot, they said to go away from anyone or anyplace that has a lit ciggerett or a smoky room because it causes the thought to come back. Best of luck quiting, I hope this helps you my friend, and may you see your Anne soon.
