Hi Luci Lou,
I've been quit for a long time and I used this site to help me but I haven't been around in a while. I accidentally came here today and cause there is a reason for everything, decided it was because of you.
I also quit smoking while using the patch. The first few days after the patch is completely gone, there is a little withdrawal and some of it may even be phycological.
I wanted to tell you that being around the second hand smoke as you mentioned in your post, really creates a craving. You are absorbing some of that second hand smoke and it is making you want more. Try to avoid it as much as possible.
I don't ever want to smoke again and I've been quit so long now that I rarely think of it BUT if I'm hit with a dose of second hand smoke to this day it creates a little bit of a craving. Recognize it for what it is and then move on. Hope this helps. :)
Stay strong and remember...there is no such thing as ONE cigarette...one is too many and a thousand isn't enough.
