I\'m unworthy to adivse you, but here is my story:
As a smoker for 32 years i\'ve quit 3 times now, the latest just last month. It is a very hard addiction to get over; i was addicted to both cocaine, and heroin, in my youth before becoming Christian, and i can say unequivocally that smoking is the worst out of the 3. The other 2 are done in a week or so; smoking can creep up on you even after a year.
My wife and i lately used aids this time to help us quit. Primarily we were so bad when we\'ve tried before our kids asked us to start smoking again-that is the control it can have over us. God willing we stop this time for good.
I\'m in agreement with those who say stop. We are called to be free in Christ, and not bound to any earthly substance. It is a struggle, but that is what we are called to do in the end, and God will bless you for it. As well, you will be an example to others of a virtuous life.
Live truly free!
