Great, now you can actually do some work instead of skulking off for a fag every 15 mins
Ooof, doesn't it wipe you out when you've been off it? I caved a little when I'd been off it for about two months. I was at the pub and someone offered me one - I was wobbling about all over the place by about 3/4 in. Had to put my head on the table for a bit until the spinning stopped.
That would be best as I currently feel like I'm sat in the waiting room for the dentist or something lol. Honestly I've got it in my head that this is the plan and my brain isn't happy with the suggestion of not "enjoying" the last of it even though I 100% agree it's the better plan.
This could be true but needs to be balanced with one of, if not, the best self-help book for stopping smoking (linked below). It explains to continue smoking as you read the book otherwise your defences to the advice will be "heightened".You sound like people that say they are going on a diet. You need to change your diet.
stopping smoking tonight is not going to work. You need to change your behaviour and that starts now. Smokers stop smoking every time they finish a fag. What you need to do is stop/dont begin smoking . You have already said and admitted you will fail at this tonight. Good luck
Good luck. Read this book:

I stopped dead cold turkey one Sunday about 13 - 14 years back, i dont keep track and prefer to forget that hell when i was trapped.
I am shocked you went back to it after a good period, when i quit i absolutely hated the stuff, the companies behind it, the Gov for allowing its sale and actually i dont like people who smoke anymore either.
It changes a person on a level deeper than they just stink.
Well done mate. Probably one of the best things you can do.
And also, it's not a self centered post. It's good to know you have a load of internet strangers behind you wishing you luck. Keep strong mate, you can do this.
Might be worth keeping track of all the money you'll save, then treat yourself to something nice.
I quit (paused?) for 2 years, started again 4 years ago.
I never got that highly anti-smoking thing that ex smokers often do. Normally I would feel indifferent around smoking people. It smelt like it did before I smoked which was interesting. I would occasionally feel jealous, though usually not very intensely unless it was a time it was perfect for a fag, like abroad on holiday in the sun with a beer or whatever.
It was our ice cream man's side hustleNot smoked for over 2 years but my mother didn't raise no quitter and fancy a smoke but don't want a packet of 20. Shame they don't sell singles like they did when I was at primary school.
I quit over 20 years ago
My method was slowly cutting down until I was only smoking a couple per day then stopped altogether
Best of luck
