Hi Karen, 
I can relate to that when I was working before I had my boys I used to smoke more than when I was not working.  It wasn't that I had more time to smoke, but when you only have 15mins for a coffee/ciggy break, I managing to smoke 2 ciggys in that break and maybe only 1 or 2 mouthfulls of coffee.
 
When I stopped working I would still have the same amount of time for a cup of coffee 'break', but I would only smoke 1 ciggy and drink a full cup of coffee.
 
Maybe it was because at work I was always working to deadlines, or maybe it was because I knew it would be a few hours before I could have my next fix, were as at home I could have my next fix whenever I wanted it.

Dear Members,
 
Did you know?
 
In studies that have analyzed the impact of life stressors, depression, emotional support, marital status, and income, researchers have concluded that an individual with a high stress level is approximately 15 times more likely to be a smoker than a person with low stress. About half of smokers identify workplace stress as a key factor in their smoking behaviour.
